Christmas Tree Chipping is finished for another year, and it went very well. Our volunteers knocked themselves out, the community support was magnificent, and we ate well, too! Thanks to everyone involved in making this a wonderful day.
I'm worried about one thing. Each year we find a number of ornaments that people have missed removing from their tree. Usually these are ordinary items that no one will miss. But once in awhile we find a treasure, and we have no way of getting it back to where it belongs. This year we have one of these treasures.
It's a Baby's First Christmas ornament, made of pewter. It's engraved "From Yvonne", I can't quite make out the name of the baby (perhaps Shae-Lynn?), and it's dated 1994. This is precious to someone and I'd like to get it back to the family. Please email me if you know whose this is.
