Solidarity and greed. No need for big ad effects, no need for huge slogans or flashy “4 x 3”. Some people, through small daily gestures, know how to change lives. Thus, the Easter holidays and a “commercial” operation have been transformed, with a wave of the magic wand but above all elbow grease and goodwill, into a very nice gesture that brings a smile back. Chocolatey return. Pierrette and Fabienne, from the Chocolaterie de Lara, a superb stall on the Boulevard du Nord, won for the Easter holidays a majestic bell filled with chocolate weighing more than 10 kg.
After drawing lots, the lucky winners declined the offer and the win. Never mind, the traders get in touch with Franck Villeneuve, the first city councilor of the town of Gimont. Quite naturally, all eyes are on the hospital and the local nursing home. After a few days for the logistics, the handover and the clash of bell took place Tuesday afternoon, in the lounges of the establishment.
The mayor had of course made the trip, surrounded by health personnel, residents, and Hugo Pairot, representing the management.
Jacqueline, “Lulu” and Irma therefore played the service workers to meticulously break the delicious present, under the watchful eye of Fabrice Plante, employee. The latter also knows a lot, in terms of large bells and voluminous tocsin. After a few minutes of hard work, the result and the best possible wages reached every department of the hospital, staff included. And if chocolate has benefits on morale and even acts, it seems, on libido, smiles were already de rigueur.
A delight for the taste buds, but also for the hearts, put to the test for many months already. A little sweetness in a sometimes rough world.
