Jocko’s Friends
The “Gift of Giving” was fully experienced on Saturday, November 26, 2011 when 39 of Jocko’s friends gave the gift of song and the gift of a handmade craft to the residents at Pioneer Village. The gift of song is truly the universal language.
Thank you to Robyn Lang and to Emily Proulx for their help with the craft. Thank you to Alaina Houston and to Kathleen Houston for playing the piano so well during the singing of carols led by Sheila McKague.
Thank you to Sandy Callan, Janice Routley, Janet Galger, Gloria Hunstad, Leona Howe, Connie Van Dusen, Ann Grahame, Sheila McKague and to the parent volunteers for all their help.
Everyone helped the residents at Pioneer Village to make their star shine a little brighter! Joyeux Noel!
