Our residents had been hard a work for weeks; knitting beautiful blankets, baking their famous breads and cooking delicious cookies and after all their hard work, it all paid off. We were stunned by a very pleasant turn out; the residents ended up raising $750.00.
We will be presenting this donation to Theresa of Cythera House on Friday, December 16th, during a presentation that she will be holding on our premises (which the public is welcome to).
