         Last Sunday, December 4, The 2nd of Advent.   The gift: Toys.  Thanks to Beth & Rob Robinson for coordinating.  Beth says they need volunteers to sort & hand out toys:

    If anyone is interested, the store could use some extra hands to man "store," where the parents/caretakers come in to find toys for their children. Here are the hours that were suggested by the coordinator, Vicky Stilly: 

    On the 14th  - we could use 2-8 volunteers from noon to 2p and/or 4p to 6:30p
    On the 15th   -  we can use help from noon to 4p and/or 4p to 6p.
