Dewberry residents stepping up for Operation Shoebox

Gerry Lampow
By Gerry Lampow

A few Dewberry residents have once again made the trek to Calgary for Operation Shoebox, ensuring kids from faraway places have a gift at Christmas.

Tanya Bowman, Matt Fletcher, Ethan Ross, Becky Smith, Cheryl Nawrot, and Ann Adams—all members of Dewberry Community Church were in Calgary from Dec. 6-8 inspecting Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes before they are sent to Central America, West Africa, Philippines, and Ukraine.

This year, Dewberry Community Church members packed 137 shoeboxes full of school supplies, hygiene items, and toys.

Organizers say for anyone wanting to pitch, it’s not too late. Just visit Pack A Box for Operation Christmas Child online.

Now an Alberta/Western Canada resident, you would be hard-pressed to find a stronger proponent of Lloydminster than the news guy that appreciates a healthy dose of rock music and dress code leather. His mantra is focus on one thing and do it well.
