Dear Santa
Dear Santa, do you remember me?
My name is Rotary. I live with my Mom & Dad-
Mr. & Mrs. Club
I am 12 years old and I really like hugs!
I live in a beautiful city by the ocean + forest. Its filled with ART too! It’s called Port Moody
I really like visiting with all my cousins too. Their names are Coquitlam lunch, Coquitlam Sunrise and Port Coquitlam Centennial.
We all share the same great, great, GREAT grandpa - his name was Paul and he has 1.2 million ‘grandchildren’ all over the world...you must know them all!
I know this is a long letter, but you see - there are so many things I really, really want, including
At least 2 more new members, by July 2012 - preferably on of them a Dentist
Funding for 30 kids, so they can enjoy a week at
Rotary Kids Camp at Camp Jubilee
A new kitchen for the St. Mary's
Community Centre , in Grahamstown, South Africa - so
the little ones can have a good breakfast and lunch.
A new Garden and room with comfy beds and furniture for Hannah House
Don’t forget the guys- a great Chili lunch for Christmas at Innervisions
and if its not too much to ask - a full recovery for all of them and a chance to start over and live “ A Wonderful Life’
Bags and bags and bags of food for the Generous Hearts food bank Drive
A wonder-filled Christmas party for all the seniors at Eagle Ridge Manor - and visit from you too
Dictionaries, Dictionaries !! Spreading the 4 way test throughout the land
A very, very special year for our adopted daughter Henriette, who will be spending Christmas with my family this year
To sell lots and lots of hot chocolate at the Christmas train - all the money goes to Share
Many many friends and family to help me load the hampers and toys for need families on December 13! Are you free?
For young adults to grow and share at RYLA - it changes lives!
For fun and fellowship and smooth sailing at
Semiahmoo
Speaking of sailing - can you help me send containers, loaded with toys, educational and health supply - all around the world? You must know the way
It sounds like a lot to be sure, but my big brother [we call him President] John always says ‘many hands make light work!’
So you see Santa, I really need your help - I promise to leave you cookies and beer. Not just any beer either but the Perfect Pint
Mmmm maybe Rudolph, the Red Nose Reindeer could drive?
But most of all, I wish for a polio free world, for peace and good will and that you will have a very, very Merry Christmas.
