are welcomed.

together in an informal social setting.

THANK YOU TO ALL – Christmas donations provided food & toys to many families
The annual Bonsall Chamber Christmas Party at the Bonsall Community Center was
our very own 'home made' potluck meal put together by our loyal volunteers.
This usually means
Susie Birchall, Nikki Birchall and Lido Favela
leading the set up and tear down. We collected unwrapped gifts to give to the
Bonsall Woman's Club who, in turn, saw they get handed out to less fortunate
families in our area.
Thank you to Chairperson of the Toys and Food Program:
Mary Jane Poulter.
Purchasing toys with the donated funds:
Marilyn and Don Schweibold, Leigh Ann Howard and Gale Golden. Bonsall Woman's
Club
members in charge of wrapping were
Joan Kaford,
President,
Pat Aspray and Beverly Thompson.
Military liaison:
Gloria Mattson
and
Allison Poulter Boone
distributing the Military gifts and food certificates. Distributing to local
families:
Barbara Chahbazian, Sonja Longley, Marilyn Schweibold, Sandy Bell, Charlene
McNary, Diane Trappen, Judy Barnett, Rena Godshall and others.
We categorized the families that needed a little help during this Christmas season: 1. Local families 2. Military families 3. Fire Victim Families
The names of the families were all recommended by various sources; local
schools, military liaison or a sponsor.
This year's donations surpassed our expectations. Thank you to our local
residents, the members of the Bonsall Chamber and the Bonsall Woman's club for
their generous monetary donations, toy drives and volunteer help. And we were
delighted to add more families to our list when we received a large donation
from a business contractor in Vista.
You all made a happier holiday for many of the less fortunate children and
their families in the Bonsall, Fallbrook and Camp Pendleton areas. THANK YOU!
HONORARY MAYOR OF BONSALL
