Gifts are needed for older children

Gifts suitable for older children,
those aged! nine to 15, are in short
supply at the Sidney Kiwanis-
Review Christmas Toy Fund and
th¥te’s only two days left for
donations to be dropped off.

Many of the donations received
to date are suitable for young
children but there is a shortage of
items for older children, Sidney
and Peninsula Kiwanis Club presi-
dent Ted Parsons said.

The fund is continuing to accept
donations until Thursday night
because gifts and food hampers
will be distributed Thursday and
Friday.

Recently, the toy fund and the
Lions-Review Christmas Hamper
fund both received a boost with a
series of donations to the office at
9627-First Street.

First came the students of Sans-
bury-McTavish School, who
brought in a collection of wrapped
gifts purchased with $500 raised
by the students.

The First Sidney Brownies con-
tributed toys and food.

Sidney’s B.C. Liquor Store man-
ager Bill Pettigrew showed up with
a box of stuffed bears, thanks to
the generosity of liquor store

Under a province-wide liquor
store promotion, store customers
buy two stuffed bears for $10.60.
The customer takes one bear home
and the second bear is donated to a
local Christmas fund.

By Dec. 10 over 70 bears had
been donated by purchasing
patrons at the local liquor store.
