Heritage House Christmas Tea Party

Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent

To help residents enjoy the comradeship of Christmas and to raise funds to better the lives of the residents, Heritage House hosted their Christmas Tea Party on December 5.

This event featured tea, coffee, black forest cake, and strawberry shortcake. There were also many door prizes.

Jo-Anne Fried who is the President of Residents and Family Council said this tea is meant to raise funds which will be used to provide entertainment, bus rides, cab rides to go to special events, and other activities for the residents of Heritage House. “We also used the funds from before to update our Christmas tree in the dining room which really beautifies the place. As well, we bought most of the silk flowers in the hallways and other ornamental arrangements.

“We host this event because we want the community of Vegreville and surrounding areas to come in and check out Heritage House and visit with the residents. We think Heritage House is a pretty special place,” Fried added.

Gladys Palahniuk, Sonia Hunka, Pauline Coleman, Joan Yoronchuk enjoy the tea party together.
