This year’s Community Christmas Dinner host by the Thompson Neighborhood Renewal Corporation was a huge success.

Thirty volunteers helped with the dinner prep and serving over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, with 230 people served at the dinner on December 25th.

Close to 100 presents were given to the children in attendance, thanks to a generous donation from Vale Thompson.

The dinner took place from noon to 2 pm at the Royal Canadian Legion Hall.

The hall and the kitchen were donated for the TNRC’s use by the Legion and Legion’s Women Auxiliary respectively.

Extra food was passed out to residents of Harmony House, Rotary Place and Lion’s Manor 55.
