Holiday Evergreens and Benefit for Austin's House
Wow! I am amazed when this one e-mail from Austin's House comes each year. I jump on the Internet and write in, "How many more days until Christmas" and as always I think that's scary. OK, it's 78 more days and now is the time to order the finest fresh cut evergreen holiday wreaths and decorations. A portion of each purchase will benefit Austin's House. Enjoy the beauty of this holiday season with long lasting, fragrant evergreens direct from the Pacific Northwest.
These wonderful fresh-cut decorations are ideal for your home and also make the perfect holiday gift. They are very inexpensive for a beautiful noble fir and mixed evergreen wreath, door swag or table centerpiece. You may also order gifts to be delivered directly to the homes of your family and friends. The holiday evergreens arrive promptly the week before Thanksgiving. Orders for local pick up will be available on November 30.
WHO: Austin's House emergency shelter for abused and neglected children
WHAT: All holiday decorations are shipped direct from Sherwood Forest Farms in Northwest Washington State.
WHEN: The deadline for orders is Monday, Oct. 19.

Foster Kids Closet, Classey Seconds, Community Pregnancy Center
When you are ready to give items for babies away, here is a quick list of participating places that would love your generous donating of gentle used crib's, toddler beds, clean baby seats, booster seats and nicely washed baby clothes. Stephanie Cook at Foster Children's Closet e-mailed that she is looking for two cribs and one toddler bed.
A few bags of new diapers would be wonderful.
The ladies auxiliary at St. Teresa's, St. Paul's and St. Peters did a wonderful baby diapers drive with baby wipes lotion, homemade blankets and rattles one year and I can tell you some very lucky babies got the full works. We always forget the real little ones and teens. With Christmas around the corner and the economy being tight, a little something goes a long way.
