Upgrading students offer economical Christmas gifts to help J raise money for their program's scholarship fund

STORY AND PHOTOS BY JESSICA BINGEL Bidaaiioiir staff

After two days, Lethbridge Community CoUege upgrading students and staff met their goals for the Christmas store they managed on Nov. 29 and 30. "We definitely met our fmancial target," said Monica EkvaU, upgrad­ ing instructor./.^:-.-:' ^: •:•./ i- The store was openied to help reUeve the stress and financial difficul­ ties that are associated with Christmas. This is the secpnd year that the upgrading students held a student store,,-/,, ';• :' V; ,•'.•/:: ..-\ . . "The first (year) was on a much smaUer scale," EkvaU said. '*We tairr geted a much wider student population (this year)." Not only did students and staff donate to the Christmas store, the community also did its part in contributing. Ekvall said that the upgrading program wasn't expecting the Lethbridge community to donate. The store was located in the Students' Association boardroom, and there was also a table setup in the Centre Core on Nov. 29. Upgrading . students and staff worked from 8:30 a.m. tiU 5 p.m. over the two days, Lynne Kinch (behind the table), secretary of case management, was one and over 30 volunteers worked in the store in one-hour shifts. of ttie many dhristmas store volunteers sets up shop in Centre Core. "The tunes I was in the store, people were in tiiere steadUy," EkvaU said. Although aU the items for sale in the store didn't seU, the items wiU go to several groups around the coUege. EkvaU said that the SA will look to see if tiiey can use any of the donations for tiiek Adopt A FamUy hampers, or if the early childhood program can use them. If there is stiU anything left over, EkvaU said it wiU be used again in next years' store.

"We targeted a much wider student population (this year)." - Momica Ekvall

When asked if the Christmas store will return next year, Ekvall said it depends on the amount of people who would like to be involved. "We'U have to see if the staff is interested." If the upgrading program chooses not to continue the Christmas store next year, EkvaU wiU find a home for the items. "I'll donate the leftovers to a good cause," Ekvall said. Students that shopped in the Christmas store were excited to find something inexpensive for their family or friends. EspeciaUy during the end of the semester when money and timing are tight. "I haven't had anytime to do my Christmas shopping," said Mark Edwards, second-year computer information technology student. The money raised from student and staff donations go to the upgrad­ ing student scholarship fund. Ekvall hopes that the Christmas store met the needs of smdents and staff, and also helped reUeve some of the stress that comes with the hoUdays.

Burke, who spends his spare time riding motorcycles and competing in long-distance races, plans to teach part-time at the uni­ versity.
