Way to go Swift Current Royal Purple!
I lost my job right before Christmas last year. I was able to get work but found myself behind financially as Christmas approached. I was really concerned I wouldn't be able to give my children a Christmas this year. I reached out online for any help and was connected to someone in the Royal Purple. Without hesitation they personally offered to help me out, but when the Royal Purple found out what she was doing they wanted to help too. I was blessed with gifts and new clothes for my kids. I was even blessed with a little something for myself. I was able to spend the little money I had on gas to bring them back home and we had the most amazing Christmas. I hadn't had both my kids together for Christmas in a few years. Because of the kindness and generosity of the Royal Purple, we were reminded what the Christmas season is all about... kindness, love and family. - Samantha

I am writing this letter in appreciation of Ladies of the Royal Purpose on Prince George.
These ladies have been coming to provide an Annual Strawberry Tea to over 100 seniors in our complex Care Facility for well over 20 years. Every year it has always been very well planned and organized. The ladies are incredibly involved in serving the residents and introducing themselves. I also appreciate the fact that they include retired members that are now in care. They reach out to people that are recluse in their rooms and have some dietary restrictions. This annual event it is very well thought out. They bring their own supplies for the event every year. Everyone gets one something whether they are in their rooms, or their diet does not always allow them to have a regular piece of cake with strawberries. Puts some smiles on over 100 faces. We very much appreciate the time and dedication they put into their annual tea to our Complex Care Facility.
Thank you ladies.
