Chatham Goodfellows success over the last 64-years is attributed totally to
the overwhelming generosity of citizens in our community, and the dedication
of our volunteers. Chatham Goodfellows appreciates the overwhelming
generosity to “Ensure No Child Without a Christmas”.
The late Laura Raymant was an original knitter with the Active Lifestyle

Laura passed away, several members of the Active Lifestyle Centre stepped up
to the fill the void, and continued to knit mittens for Chatham Goodfellows.
