The strain will be greater than ever
on our resources this year. We hope to
have enough volunteers to pick up
donations, but we need the donations
first. | want to thank the North Shore
News for all of West Vancouver. It is
such a simple idea, and it couldn’t have
come at a better time. It's a truly public
spirited gesture on their part.”
