CFAX Santas Podcast

Enjoy this special episode, a chat with Carmela and Mel Cooper.  Mark and I visited Mel and Carmela December 3, 2021 in their home to talk about CFAX Santas, Christmas and the importance of giving.

On this episode we talk to Marilyn Cann, founder of Santas Anonymous.  With  help from her husband Vern and their children, Marilyn started Santas Anonymous in Victoria, BC 50 years ago!
What's amazing about this story is that the first five years took place within the confines of their home with help from friends, neighbours, volunteers and businesses.
When Marilyn left CFAX Santas Anonymous in the hands of Mel Cooper 45 years ago to start her career in real estate- she continued her involvement as a Board Member, and remains a Honorary Board Member. 
Marilyn shares some stories of how it all began and how CFAX Santas Anonymous has grown into an important local children's charity -- not just at Christmas time but all year round!
