pursuit of their health. Keep fighting!

Christmas Trees
The Christmas trees continue to sell. December 7th there were 220
trees remaining. As of December 10th at 2 pm there were 40 Scotch pines
left. All but 8 were sold by Monday when the selling stopped. The tent
from Herriott's was great. It provided a great barrier from the cold,
rain, wind, and snow. Customers appreciated it also. Thank you to
Herriott's.
Christmas Giving
Preservation Family Services has several families with 16-17
children for us to support as we have in the past. Jeanette Nugent
volunteered to coordinate the efforts of buying and wrapping the gifts.
The party for them will be December 18th 3:30-5:00 pm at the American
Legion on Bloomington Road in Champaign. We will spend $35-40 on each
child.
Program
Updates were given on two of our continuing projects. Janet Soesbe
from the Urbana Park District told of the UPD Summer Youth Theater which
has been in existence since 1992. The continued support of UPD Busey Woods
is one of our projects.
Sarah Kelly and Miriam Nibley told of the Delta Sigma Omicron
Christmas party which we support. This is for wheelchair children that are
assisted by DSO. It was held December 2nd at the Phillips Recreation
Center. Coverage of this event was on NBC Channel 15 and the News Gazette.

The Christmas Party will be December 21. Joan will provide the
meat and one potato dish. Those attending are asked to bring a casserole, a
