Mary Mac's hosts 150 for Christmas

Over 150 people attended the Mary Mac's Place midday Christmas celebration held on Friday, December 21.

"Many residents from the Peninsula and further afield enjoyed a wonderful Christmas lunch due to the generous donations of local businesses and many individuals in our community," said Mary Mac's Place project coordinator Ms Christine Burge.

"We are fortunate to live in such a generous local community.

"Mr and Mrs Claus attended the lunch and all children and their parents left with a gift, all due to further generous donations of toys and toiletries from members of our community.

"Our local Member of Parliament Ms Deborah O'Neill also attended to wish our guests a Merry Christmas.

"Even though Christmas is over, our community is still thinking of those less fortunate with hams and lots of excess goodies being donated.

"Without this type of assistance Mary Mac's Place would not be able to do the good work they do," said Ms Burge.

Mary Mac's Place is an initiative of the St John the Baptist Parish at Woy Woy and is supported by Centacare and local businesses, clubs and individuals.
