Perth's Christmas Lunch in the Park is all wrapped up with the help of local celebrities

Mission Australia - along with the help of over 400 volunteers - will deliver our 34th annual Christmas Lunch in the Park event again this year for those in our community seeking companionship and a place to celebrate the festive season.  Each guest will receive a traditional Christmas lunch, a gift from Santa, entertainment and great company!

In support of the event, a group of Perth celebrities and media representatives gave up their time to take part in a huge 'Christmas present-wrapping drive'. The gifts - all donated by generous West Australian individuals and businesses - will be distributed to children attending the Christmas Lunch in the Park event.

One of Perth's best known voices, ABC Radio presenter Bernadette Young, also took part in the wrapping event. You can read Bernadette's blog and see photos here:  blogs.abc.net.au/wa/2009/12/its-a-wrap.html?program=720_afternoons.

Perth Now also covered the 'present-wrapping drive' and have added a video to their website:  player.video.news.com.au/perthnow/#1354986774
