The Local Weekly The heart and soul of our communities with news and information about the Sunshine Coast
An annual tradition and in keeping with the holiday spirit, members of the Suncoast Woodcrafters Guild presented more than a 100 special hand-crafted wooden toys to Sunshine Coast Community Services Society for distribution through their North Pole Project for area disadvantaged children. A special thank you for the generous grant from Sunshine Coast Regional District, big-hearted donations from Lehigh Materials and Sunshine Coast Community Forest, plus a portion of Woodcrafters’ membership dues made it possible to purchase materials to build these toys. Committee chair, Ken Walker said, “With wooden toys, children create their own world, they use their imagination, that is why we keep making toys, and it’s our way to give back to the community”. On hand for the presentation were Vicki Dobbin, Kelly Foley from Community Services and Laura Dixon from Lehigh.
