Free community Christmas Dinner C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
Last year over 250 people attended a free Christmas dinner for the Kimberley community. In addition over 100 meals were delivered to those unable to attend.

It’s happening again this year on Sunday, December 13, 2015 at Centennial Hall from 4 to 5 p.m. Doors open at 3:45 p.m. “As in the past few years, the dinner is open to anyone in our com-
