The True Spirit
The true spirit of Christmas was evident again this year when members of the Gisborne Orphans Club provided Christmas dinner for 105 senior citizens. Held at the Memorial Home, the dinner was a most happy event with the Orphans doing the waiting as well as providing songs and music for their guests.
