We are so lucky to have The Pines Support Committee whom we want to thank for contributing funds towards the resident's Christmas gifts as they have for a number of years. This year, we can enhance the gifts because of the very gracious contribution from the committee along with The Pines' contribution.

The gifts have already been arriving and Santa’s elves are hard at work wrapping and labelling!
