Fellow Members, after several years it is pleasing to have the SAN Carols back to add to the Christmas spirit in our Community.

We have traditionally offered our services to "walk" the audience with plastic buckets at a designated time to gather loose change providing funding for local projects.

This year we will direct the Funds to the SAN Foundation under the stewardship of Judy Tanner (one of our new members).

We will undertake the collection around 8pm - and need to be asembled under the Hospital portico at around 7.00-7.15 PM - we will be all done by 8.30. .
