The Birthday Gift that Keeps on Giving
St. George’s Society Board member, Mark Aiston, was saddened when he had to cancel his 60th birthday celebrations because of social distancing measures in place during the pandemic. But then he “turned a disappointing situation into something hopeful” when he asked his friends and family to donate to St. George’s Society in lieu of gifts raising over $1200 for The Weatherstone Families Support Fund.
