old urniture rom your unit the city
does not pick up these items, and they
are not to be let on the curb. I these
items are not disposed o responsibly, the
co-op must pay to have them removed.
Unwanted urniture and other large items
can be taken to the city dump, removed
by a junk removal service, or donated
to a thrit store. Some thrit stores or

and dont make your neighbours pay
to remove your unwanted household
items.
Breakfast with SantaThe co-op kids were thrilled to meet Mr.
and Mrs. Claus at the annual Breakast
with Santa December 15. Hopeton cooked
pancakes, sausages, and eggs (do we ever
give him a day o the grill?) which were
then served up by abulous volunteers. Mr.
Claus handed out presents, which were eagerly
received, and Mrs. Claus kindly read aloud an illus-
trated version o that well-loved poem, Twas The NightBefore Christmas. Thanks to the social committee or
organizing the event, and arranging a visit rom the
man in the red suit himsel. We didnt know you had
that kind o pull!
