Editor,

I would like to thank the Los Alamos community for their generosity in supporting the annual Children’s Christmas Bazaar at Trinity on the Hill Episcopal Church during the Winterfest weekend.

It was a truly giving event! Sixty-seven people gave their time and talents preparing for the bazaar, serving treats, helping children select gifts, greeting, handing out gift bags and cleaning up. Eleven people baked treats for guests and elves. And numerous people donated gift items for the event. And the event keeps on giving; proceeds from the bazaar will go to help the homeless, as chosen by the children’s votes at the bazaar.

Imagine the joy of the 205 children who shopped at the bazaar as they give their gifts to loved ones and friends this Christmas!  It truly takes a giving community like ours to make this event a success.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!
