Halloween turned into fundraising fun for the Capital Chordettes as they
prepared two pumpkins for the Celebrity-Carved Pumpkin Contest for Children at
Risk. The Chrodettes received help this year from the “Cherub and Junior Choirs
of Glen Cairn United Church” who had a ball carving the pumpkins. The
youngsters benefited from doing something positive for Autism and hopefully
learned something too. The carving being done by such youngsters added a
certain charm to the finished product. Autism is the charity of choice for the
Capital Chordettes and we proudly support
Children At Risk, a charitable organization providing services in the
Greater Ottawa area to families of children diagnosed within the Autism
Spectrum Disorders.
