Service spots get filled very quickly at Thanksgiving and Christmas.<BR/><BR/> Please respect the guidelines of the organization you're working with. Your 13 year old really <I>may</I> be very mature, but if their rules say "16 or over", please don't ask them to bend them for you.<BR/><BR/> "New" means "new", not "barely played with", please.<BR/><BR/> Don't have time to volunteer? No charitable organization ever thinks cash is cold or hard. Sometimes, we have ways to work a 'loaves and fishes' with your donation and can make it go even farther than you thought. Please never fell that giving money isn't really 'giving'.<BR/><BR/>And, please do remember these groups during the rest of the year. Thanks!Salhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13201226644704622876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-59928029243566424842007-12-08T19:42:00.000-06:002007-12-08T19:42:00.000-06:00Mrs. Fuentes,I enjoy your site so much and underst...Mrs. Fuentes,<BR/><BR/>I enjoy your site so much and understand that you are (or were?) a military family. May I add one more idea for things to do to help others this Christmas? <BR/><BR/>Daddy Dolls, Inc. has a wonderful program that allows people to donate funds to provide "daddy dolls" for the children of deployed soldiers, airmen, marines, and sailors, who can't afford them, and to the children of fallen heros. Military chaplains help oversee the distribution of the dolls to those who need them the most.<BR/><BR/>This is a very worthwhile cause. My little girl has a daddy doll, and it does make a difference to small children. Having something to cuddle with daddy (or mommy's) picture on it really provides a lot of comfort.<BR/><BR/>If you would like to help this wonderful and worthwhile cause, visit the link below.<BR/><BR/>http://daddydolls.com/donation.phpMrs. Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14850588872600448150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-53256000807324005582007-12-08T09:09:00.000-06:002007-12-08T09:09:00.000-06:00Hi Lisa,We are going to do this next week and yes,...Hi Lisa,<BR/><BR/>We are going to do this next week and yes, they already gave us permission to do this inside the woman's department. From what I understand about the handout it will contain some info on how to keep Christ in Christmas and an invitation to our church Christmas program. Hope that helps.<BR/><BR/>Many blessings...June Fuentes @ A Wise Woman Builds Her Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01821276536385551195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-86664372852864073152007-12-07T00:37:00.000-06:002007-12-07T00:37:00.000-06:00I have been enjoying your blog for several weeks n...I have been enjoying your blog for several weeks now. Thank you for this list of great ideas of serving others this season. I like the idea of caroling in Walmart. Will they let you you do that? Can you share what was on your candy cane handout about keeping Christ in Christmas?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-36858077839466419972007-12-07T00:19:00.000-06:002007-12-07T00:19:00.000-06:00Good thoughts!
