Yule Toy Tourney VI
(2011-12-09 - 2011-12-11 - Site opens at 4 PM & Closes at 11 AM)
Nottinghill Coill
As the weather grows cooler and the leaves begin to turn, thoughts inevitably stray toward the Yule Season. It is a time for family and giving, a time for peaceful fellowship with those we love. As we count the many gifts we have received in life, we should all remember that there are those less fortunate than us – those who need our help to have a festive Yule Season.
To this end, the Barony of Nottinghill Coill would like to invite you to join us at our annual charity event to provide Yuletide cheer for those who are less fortunate than ourselves. As has become custom, we are supporting The Country Santa charity group. Last year this group made it possible for over 3000 children to have a happier holiday season. For more information on this charity, go to www.countrysanta.org.
