The Junior League of Calgary (JLC) and its members helped bring holiday cheer this season to 350 Calgary teens by providing tote bags filled with both must-have personal hygiene items as well as many “fun” items. On December 6 members joined the 2011 Fall Provisional Class at the JLC office to assemble the totes and get into the holiday spirit with festive music and some of Nikki’s delicious treats!
Totes were filled with hand sanitizer, toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, shampoo, store gift cards, movie passes, library cards, candy canes, granola bars, gloves, toques, agendas, Hitmen tickets, bus passes, swim passes, eye exam certificates and other miscellaneous items. They will be distributed to the teen clients of The Alex Youth Health Centre and various Community Resource Centers via the efforts of Drew Brown of Saint Jude’s Health Management Institute. We were honoured to have as our special guests Drew Brown, and Kate Hawksworth and Judy McCuaigh from The Alex Youth Health Care Center and prospective Winter Provisional Emily Wood!
