Members of the Fillmore Ebell Club were present at their annual Holiday Christmas Tea Party, on December 8, 2009, held at the home of local long-time resident of Fillmore, Lorraine Finch, and hosted by Ebell Members Anita Bailey and Lorraine Finch.

As has been done for many previous years, the Ebell ladies donated food items and cash to local families in need. This year the Ebell ladies generously donated $50.00 cash; miscellaneous canned goods; and a total of over 118 pounds of rice, sugar, flour and beans.

Selection of local organizations to receive the donations was organized by Ebell Member, Charlene Smith, who delivered the donations to Barbara Donckels of St. Vincent De Paul Society, and First Five organizations, who then distributed the donations to families in need in Fillmore.

Anyone interested in more information, or becoming a member of the Fillmore Ebell Club, may call Pat Murray, 521-1825.
