A lot of appointments have been booked and gifts are being picked up starting tomorrow in a Christmas gift program. The program run by the Flin Flon Friendship Center allows parents to give their children a gift at Christmas when circumstances prevent them from doing so. The Center’s Events Coordinator Jeremiah Herrmann says donations went well especially with the toy toss with the Bombers and Northland Ford. He says people will be coming to the lower level of the Friendship Center tomorrow until the 23rd to pick out a gift. He explains people that are registered with the gift program will come to their time slot because it does get a little busy in there for the first couple of days when the time slots are booked right from 9:30 in the morning to about 4:30 in the afternoon and they see anywhere from 25 to 28 people a day but they still have slots open towards the evening so you can still register.
You can register by calling Jeremiah at the Center at 204-687-3900. This is the 23rd year for the gift program.
