Community Christmas party set for Dec. 7

The Township of La Vallee once again is hosting its annual community Christmas party and fun day.
This year’s event is planned for Sunday, Dec. 7 starting at 2 p.m. at the Devlin Hall. People are encouraged to bring their sleds, cards, and games for an afternoon of fun.

A potluck supper then will be served at 5 p.m. so be sure to bring along your favourite dish.
This is an excellent way for high school students to earn some community service hours needed for graduation. Students are needed to help with the kiddies’ corner, clean-up, and general assistance.
Call 486-3452 to volunteer.
