A charity event was hosted by Maureen Sly-Havey and FOMASH Nov. 12 in Arnprior to benefit Share a Gift. Sarah Bogar has been organizing Share a Gift for the past four years since she took over from Helen Havelin who had been running the program for 17 years. Share a Gift provides packages for children in need in Arnprior and area at Christmas. Last year, 217 children benefited. Each child receives a stuffed animal, toy, book and outfit. The charity event, Treats for Tots, was a coffee and dessert party at Kirkman House in Arnprior. Jacqueline Turner, owner of Sweet and Sassy, generously donated all of the desserts – which were quite delicious. Ellen Smith of Kirkman House donated the venue for the event – and she had decorated for Christmas, so it was quite festive. In total, over $850 in cash and many toys and books were donated to Share a Gift that evening. If you would like to make a donation, drop items off at Sweet and Sassy Co. or call Bogar at 613-623-9595 or SlyHavey at 613-623-0363.
