Season of
Celebrations Giving Tree
November 23-December 8
 The theme for this
year's Season of
Celebrations Giving Tree is Fun & Games.
On November 23, our Giving Tree will be set
up in the lobby and filled with paper ornaments, which
will indicate a gender and age range for which you can
purchase a game. Please have your child pick an ornament
and bring it home. Please return your unwrapped gift by
December 8 and place in the box next to the
tree. All games will be donated to the North Hills Community
Outreach Holiday Store. Questions?
Contact Deb Lund.
Happy
Holidays!
