It’s all part of the promotion for the Red Cross Christmas Poinsettia available only at Canada Safeway. “Catch the Christmas spirit and help the Red Cross help your ity,” says Chri who is Chairman of the Red Cross Christmas Poinsettia Campaign. He's urging people to buy their Christmas Poinsettia at Canada Safeway, since one dollar from each plant sold is donated to the Red Cross community programs. “Every family in BC has been helped in some way by Red Cross programs in their community — | I’m no exception,” he says. Chris- tensen, who is from Kelowna, donates blood at Red Cross clinics , because he realizes how important ! the gift of life is. “My wife needed open heart surgery when she was a child. That requires a lot of blood. Red Cross donors were there for her to offer the “gift of life”.” The Red Cross saves lives through the blood donor program, the. unrelated bone marrow reg- istry and by teaching first aid and water safety — to name just a few of the ways Red Cross volunteers help others all throughout the province. “Buying a Red Cross Poinsettia at Safeway is a great way to show your support of Red Cross because the donations go directly to the programs in the community where you purchased your plant.” Chris- tensen added that last year, the ign raised $40,000. “We all like to decorate our houses at this time of the year. I can’t think of a better decoration than a Red Cross Poinsettia because the donation by Safeway will keep the Red Cross growing and helping in your hometown. It’s truly a gift that keeps on ; growing.” | | a | ” Christmas Gift Suggestion CAMERAS.
