Viking’s Dorothy White is pictured dropping off The Weekly Review’s donation box to officially start the campaign.
With the campaign kick-off underway for the Viking Legion’s annual “In Lieu of Christmas Cards” campaign, the public is being asked to give to the less fortunate in a unique and wonderful fashion.
The campaign asks community members to donate rather than send cards to family and friends. Those who donate will have their names featured in the Community Christmas Card published in the Weekly Review’s Christmas Edition, this year on Dec. 18.
All the donations are used to help the community and local children’s groups and organizations. There will be decorated donation boxes along with envelopes at many locations in Viking to help make the donations as easy to make as possible.
Anyone wishing to take part in the campaign is encouraged to drop off their donations any time before Christmas. However, the deadline to have your name appear in the Community Christmas Card is Dec. 13.
All entries received before or on Dec. 13 will appear in the card.
