The Voluntary Action Center just sent the profile on the family we will
be helping for the holidays.  During the September meeting, the club
voted to spend up to $150 to cover costs for food vouchers, a household
item and at least one new gift per child.  The food voucher will be a
minimum of $50.  That leaves only $100 to buy gifts & household items,
so club member support is very much appreciated.

Please look at the list below and let me know if you plan to provide any
of the gifts or household items.  If you can't find the exact children's
item, a gift card will work better than a "substitute" gift.

New items should be wrapped with the person's name on the outside and
the Family Number which is # 233.  Gently-used items are also welcome,
but shouldn't be wrapped.

I need your packages no later than Friday, December 5th.  If you have
any questions, please e-mail me at private e-mail address, or call me.
My home number is 445-2688, work number is 875-1231.
