Dear Sunshine Coast Community,
One of the most important events on the Arrowhead calendar is Christmas Day. This year would have been our 4th year in a row that we would have opened and held a dinner and gift giving celebration for our members. Last year over 40 people came in on Christmas Day. Traditionally we have been overwhelmed with presents from the community. We have always been given so much from everyone on the coast that we have been able to give gifts to all of our 100 regular members.
Arrowhead Clubhouse has gone through so much change this year and it may be a long time till we are back to normal. This has been very hard. We have not been able to meet with our friends and family in the same ways that we are used to. We are now operating only 3 days a week instead of 5, and we can only have 10 members in the building at a time. Events we had planned for the community were cancelled and our art lessons from the Sechelt Art’s Council had to stop. We all hope to get back in the community doing things we love with each other soon.
Unfortunately, this year we are asking for donations of gift cards rather than actual presents. This is because we cannot take items into the clubhouse right now. Although this is not as personal for our members, we hope you will still think of us and donate.
We are all looking forward to a vaccine and a return to normal. This year most people will be choosing to have a lonely Christmas. Mental health is a very pertinent issue for us all during the pandemic, we have seen levels of depression and anxiety skyrocket these past months, and we hope everyone is taking care of themselves this Christmas.
Thank you for thinking of us during the holiday season,
Love from all the Members of Arrowhead Clubhouse.
