Ponoka News

I recently obtained a few PDFs of my work in Ponoka News. Layouts done by yours truly.
 Sports section - Article on leisure activities available for children during Christmas break

The woman on A1 is probably the most amazing woman I have ever met. She organizes a Christmas dinner every year for people who don't have a place to go or families that can't afford it.

She came up with the idea 15 years ago when she was working at a gas station diner in Ponoka and saw oil workers come in on Christmas day. They were away from their families for Christmas.

The next year, she organized a community Christmas and asked various companies for donations of things from gifts for the guests to the actual food served.

She's been organizing the community Christmas since then. Truly amazing.
