“Republic of Doyle” actress Lynda Boyd will be at Sobeys on Merrymeeting Road in St. John’s from 1-3 p.m. Saturday, as part of The Telegram’s Warm Hearts campaign for Iris Kirby House.
The Telegram is collecting donations of pyjamas, blankets, underwear, socks, slippers, hats, mittens, gloves and scarves, as well as personal care items like soap, shampoo and toothpaste for the women and children staying at the shelter (new items only, please).
Boyd, official patron of the Warm Hearts campaign, will be on hand at Sobeys for a public meet and greet, to sign autographs, and accept donations to the campaign.
Those who would like to donate items to the campaign but can’t make the Sobeys event can drop their items off at The Telegram’s offices, upstairs in the Village Mall, until the end of February. Monetary donations can be made directly to Iris Kirby House by calling 722-8272.

Marlene, though I don't agree with Sam's comments, I can't agree with your's either. I do not like Republic of Doyle, change the channel even when it is being advertised. Please "a blessed site", you need to turn off your tv and get out into the real world!
