They helped with set-up, decorating, calling for reservations, collecting payment at the door and serving the meals.\u00a0 Many times, the Town Hall featured lovely themed crafts made by Gaby for Christmas, Thanksgiving, and the other major holidays. I had a lot of fun volunteering and working with them.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sadly, since that time we lost Gaby.\u201d<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn March, I contacted Ruby to borrow their St Patrick\u2019s day decorations, carrying on the tradition of handmade decorations for the event. Ruby not only said yes, but donated them for future use at the Town Hall. We will now have a lovely reminder of the amazing contribution of these two sisters for years to come. A special thank you goes out to Ruby Turriff for the generous donation that touched my heart.\u201d<\/p><div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heritagelsl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Thank-you-ruby-and-gaby-300x256.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dedicated volunteers being presented with a thank you card last year.
