Realtors in St. Thomas, Ont. turned out in force to man Salvation Army Christmas Kettles at their local Walmart during the holidays, collecting $1,210 over a two-day period.
“The London and St. Thomas Association of Realtors (LSTAR) has been organizing Realtor Day Kettle Drives in London for four years now,” says Jim Holody, LSTAR president. “We’re very pleased to see our St. Thomas members come out in such numbers to support their own Kettle Drive.”
Taking part were Alida Jordaan, Nancy Taylor, Jenny McMullin, Martin Trethewey, Earl and Nancy Taylor, Jim Harris, Martese Houle, Ruth Jenkins, Cathy Harris, Ron Fish, Wayne and Angela Devries, Kathy Kewley and Rose Heinbuch.
Earl Taylor, who sits on LSTAR’s Board of Directors representing the City of St. Thomas, as well as Realtor Jim Harris, presented Christmas Care co-ordinator Andreanna Collins with a cheque for $985, along with a cart full of non-perishable food. Christmas Cares provides holiday hampers to people in need and relies on donations of non-perishable food, toys and money.
