Valentine Day Cookies and Cards for Carnegie Centre

Carnegie Community Centre
(Hastings and Main Street)

Student Leaders met Friday, February 10th and Sunday, February 17th at the school to make Valentine cards and bake cookies for the Carnegie Community Centre. Nine committed leaders enjoyed hot chocolate, donuts and friendship as they worked together to prepare treats for people in the Downtown Eastside. Gina, Katie J, Chelsey, and Ben along with Jean McTavish, our area counsellor met with Director Ethel Whitty for a tour of the building built in 1902 and passed out cookies and Valentines to grateful visitors. They also had a chance to meet different residents and learn about the important work that goes on at the Carnegie Centre. Katie said, "I was surprised by how happy people were to receive a card and cookie."
