Dear Editor:
On Dec. 7, Rhoena Reutlinger, manager of the Paddlewheeler Pub, and Dave Brennan, manager of the New Westminster Chamber of Commerce, hosted their annual pancake breakfast that benefitted New Westminster Family Place and the Purpose Society.
Thanks to their continued dedication and support, this year's breakfast was again a wonderful success.
To witness the generosity of those who come out to support this event is affirming of the community's commitment to families who may be struggling at this time of year. And they were very generous.
Both Family Place and the Purpose Society are extremely appreciative for the toys and donations that they receive as a result of the hard work of Ms. Reutlinger and Mr. Brennan.
Our staff are witness to immense gratitude in the form of smiles, tears and thanks from families when they receive their hampers, toys or food vouchers.
They see first-hand the difference these generous donations can make.
Dawn Embree, the Purpose Society Marjorie Staal, the New Westminster Family Place
