Teen Totes Done-In-A-Day: Santa's Workshop at the JLC Office!

The Junior League of Calgary and its members helped bring holiday cheer this past Christmas to 300 Calgary teens by providing tote bags filled with both must-have personal hygiene items as well as many fun things. On November 22, 2010 members joined the Fall 2010 Provisional Class at the DIAD to assemble the totes and get into the holiday spirit with carols and sweets!

Totes were filled with hand sanitizer, toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, store gift cards, movie passes, library cards, candy, toques, gloves, notebooks, hockey tickets and some miscellaneous items. They were later distributed to the teen clients of The Alex Youth Health Centre and various Community Resource Centres via the efforts of Drew Brown of Saint Jude's Health Management Institute.
