CHRISTMAS AT HEIRISSON |
|
 |
Once again Heirisson concentrated it’s Christmas attention on the Salvation Army who were represented at our meeting by Jenny Lyden. Jenny gratefully accepted our contribution of food hamper items, Christmas gifts plus the $135 cash raised from the Club raffle over the previous weeks. Well done Ash Braden in organising all of these collections. Jenny made a short speech to the Club. Jenny was very glad to be back at Heirisson. She visited us last year and this year it is her only public appearance. Jenny gave a picture of what Christmas means to the Salvation Army. • It means hard work, long hours, short tempers and tears as there are a lot of people in need at this time of year. • It means worship • It means visiting people who would not otherwise have any other people contact. • It means hearing people say “ what would we do without the Salvo’s”. The Salvation Army strive to make Christmas as happy as possible for as many people as possible and changing peoples lives. Jenny talked about an 82 year old man “Richard” who had been living in disgraceful conditions—exposed to the elements with very little dignity. The Salvo’s secured new accommodation for him and were able to improve his circumstances to such a degree that he is now putting on weight. In closing, Jenny acknowledged the support from Heirisson in helping others. |
