On December 18, members of the Canadian Jackalope Open and the Jesters Care For Kids arrived at the Camillian Center for the annual children’s Christmas shopping trip to Big C in Rayong. After a quick lunch, Bill Freeman and Erle Kershaw distributed Care for Kids t-shirts to all the children at the center, then it was off to Big C.

Upon arrival at the main entrance, the Camillian Center staff took charge of the group of 80 children to give them their instructions and directions. After an hour and a half, the shopping was done and it was time for the Big C staff to total up all the individual purchases and final tally. This year 64,980 baht was spent, with plenty of happy faces on all the kids.
