Here is a recap of the family that Voluntary Action Center has assigned
us.

I'd like to know by November 21st if there are other members planning
to  provide any of the gifts or household items remaining on the list.  
We have had a lot of gift certificates provided for.  I want to make
sure the kids have gifts to unwrap, so smaller gift items or household
goods might be better at this point. 

The club voted to spend up to $150 to cover costs for food vouchers,
household items, and at least one new gift per child.  The food voucher
will be a minimum of $50.  That left $100 to buy gifts & household items
for a family of five, so the club member support we have received is
very much appreciated.

Please keep in mind that we aren't expected to provide gifts for adults
except the household items; however, if you want to give something to
the mom or oldest child I'm sure it will be appreciated.  

Note:  I have put an asterisk*  in front of items that have been
provided for.
