1438...Speaking Of Poverty---Times Are Tough

At least in the big city of Ottawa.

Tough as in the what 24Hours ran on their front page this morning. The free firestarter had a sad headline: The Christmas Exchange needs 150 000 . 00 dollars to avoid turning families away this year.

Executive director Marilyn Matheson, who joined me on 93.1 CKCU in November, says that for the first time in the decade she has been running the Christmas Exchange they may have to turn people away.

If you want to step up to the plate with a dollar or twenty, please go to www.christmas-exchange.com and make a pledge. Or you may call them, during business hours of course, at 613 226 6434.
