TOYS AND TOYS
FOR
GIRLS AND BOYS!

This month we hope to take toys to Las Familias del Pueblo and Impacto.  Las Familias has about 60 children, ages 3 to 12 years and Impacto has 40 older children, ages 10 to 16.  They may be wrapped or unwrapped.  If wrapped, then make a note about age and sex.

We will need the toys on December 18th when we make sandwiches at 10:00 a.m. in the parish hall.

We will also visit the Sisters Disciples of the Divine Masters and if you would like to contribute gifts, food or money for the nuns to cheer them at Christmastime it would be greatly appreciated.  They love hand cream, lotions, sweaters, etc.  There are six sisters in the convent.

Thank you for all your help and may the Baby Jesus smile on you and make your Christmas a very blessed one.

If you have any questions, please give Arline a call at 805 496-6345.
