Be sure to mark Sunday, December 22nd on your calendar. That’s the date of this year’s “Olde Tyme” Christmas Party at the Denman Community Hall, starting at 5:00 pm.
This unique historical event, started by Diana and Mike Comeau more than 20 years ago, brings together many community members in the spirit of friendship and sharing. Watch, and listen for, Santa and his Elf to arrive at about 7:00.
Families with young children might want to consider arriving after 6:00, as we know how excited little people can get restless in anticipation.
The basics – turkey, dressing, potatoes, peas and carrots, gravy, cranberries and beverages – are provided.
We request that you bring a salad, side dish or dessert to share. Also to help reduce the amount of trash created, please bring your own plate, cup and cutlery.
Your help is needed. This event would not happen, were it not for the volunteers (about 60) who work the morning of, during the party, and the morning after, not to mention those involved in the preparation the week before. Shifts on Sunday are approximately 1 to 1 ½ hours long.
Last year we served a record 350 meals. Let’s see if we can break that record. The dinner is financially supported by donations from the community to purchase all food, drink and gifts. Donations can be dropped at earth club factory in jar or etransfer to oldeTymeChristmasDinner@gmail.com or to volunteer.
Thank you
The Olde Tyme Christmas Dinner Committee
