• “The Old Tyme Community Christmas Dinner may be the regular turkey with all the fixings, but the logistics are serious... The event is remarkably intergenerational... The meal is offered for free... The service now fills the community hall with two sittings... There is also live music... and Santa arrives with elves around seven.” — The Islands Grapevine – December 12th, 2019 (December 12th, 2019)
