Christmas in August! You’re invited to a community celebration

The holiday season is still four months away, but The Christmas People would love to see you at a summer event in West Seattle later this month. Here’s the invitation just added to the WSB Event Calendar:

The Christmas People will commemorate 25 years of service to homeless people, seniors, and veterans on Sunday, August 27 from 3 to 8 pm at Alki Masonic Center, 4736 40th Ave SW.

    Wonderful people, also clicked on the volunteer now button and it went to a completely different organization “Seattle Works”?

    The Christmas People is such a worthy small charity that comes to West Seattle every holiday to brighten the tables of our neediest friends. I try to make Christmas cookies to share every year.  I received a dinner invitation, but couldn’t attend due to a recent surgery.  Ruth called to confirm the date, heard the laid-up news and sent me a personal get-well note. Above and beyond with all they are doing right now! Thanks Fred and Ruth for all your loving kindness. See you at Christmas!

Sorry, comment time is over.
