Editor, The Times:
Clearwater Rotary Club would like to express its appreciation to all the people who attended the Christmas Tree Light-up on Dec. 7 at the Wells Gray Information Centre. There were at least 100 people throughout the evening enjoying the tree decorating contest, the cookie decorating contest and just visiting.
The Carol Singers led by Louise Weaver, the Community Choir and local musicians Jack and Mary entertained us all evening. Heather Adamson captivated the children with the Christmas story reading. Santa Phil delighted all the children. Dennis Greffard supplied the facilities when we thought we would not have functioning bathrooms for the night and Ian Eakins and Jon Kreke made sure we had facilities on the day.
A variety of others supported the event through the services they provided or funding they made available: TNRD, District of Clearwater, Wells Gray Community Forest, Century 21 Realty, Blackwell Enterprises, Full Steam Enterprises, Norson Construction, Wells Gray Info Centre, Royal Bank, Clearwater-North Thompson Times, Clearwater Fire Department and Charlene Lau Studios.
We already have thoughts on how to improve the celebration next year. The Rotary Club wishes you a Happy Holiday and all the best for 2015.
