On the sixth day of Christmas, a gift for a volunteer

This heart warmer is the perfect way to begin our 6th day of the 12 Days of Christmas - Random Acts of Kindness. Ian Ganton is a well-known and dedicated volunteer who contributes of his time and often from his own wallet to create exhibits, displays and props for local theatre productions. He is always ready to lend a hand to our local community organizations. Ian's wife is battling cancer and his undying love and strength supports her. The Algoma Water Tower Inn thought they deserved a night out with a hotel stay and dinner and breakfast provided by Casey's. They have also generously donated a $200 gift certificate to The Medicine Shoppe (Great Northern Rd. location) to help with medical expenses. The Medicine Shoppe also matched this gift with their own $200 gift certificate.

Thank you to this episode's sponsors, Algoma's Water Tower Inn and The Medicine Shoppe (Great Northern Rd. location).
