The Pops On the Move Father Christmas created by Roy Brindamour will be raffled at the holiday party at the Hooper Mansion on December 14th. Raffle tickets are available at the Arnould Gallery, from Diane Barbour, and during the Pops on the Move shows.
Brindamour is an accomplished artist and has made winter Holiday and Father Christmas figures for many years. Each is made entirely by the artist, as he molds the faces and hands, constructs the figure and accessories, and sows each costume.
HELP WANTED
Jessica Barnett needs a few Santa helpers. She reports that… “on Tuesday, November 19 at 1 p.m. 100 holiday gift food boxes and 100 roasting pans will be awaiting our arrival to pick them up at Stop and Shop in Vinnin Square. This is more gift boxes than we had anticipated and they are completely free for the Food Pantry.
The process for the roasting pans will be a little different. Mr. Ziner said he would give us a $50 Stop & Shop gift card to pay for the pans. However the $50 gift certificate was not enough for what may be closer to a $200 expense.”
That little problem was solved when Rosaleen Doherty – Thank you! – offered to cover whatever the difference may be.
Jessica needs 2 or 3 drivers to meet her at Stop & Shop this Tuesday at 1 p.m. to pick up all of these items and take them to the Masons Lodge.
Please coordinate with Jessica at the meeting or – click here – by e-mail.
