WINTER NEWSLETTER 2011 from THE CGGNA PRESIDENT

CHRISTMAS ADOPT-A-FAMILY REQUEST

Dear Neighbors,

 

Last year, the Central Garden Grove Neighborhood Association "adopted" 7 needy families from Stanford Elementary School. With your donations, the CGGNA was able to fill their Christmas pantry with food, a few toys, sundries, and a $50.00 gift card to the parent. The familes were chosen by a "special person in the know" at Stanford School. She did an excellent job of selecting families that were not just needy....but humble and very appreciative. That made the project all the more meaningful. We would like the CGGNA to be able to make a difference again this year. And with your support, we can make it happen.

 

The Board agreed to select the families from Stanford School again this year. I will pass the demographics on as soon as they become available. One addition to our program for this year is to include a senior citizen who is stretching their budget and could use a little boost at Christmas. The economic climate finds many seniors having families move back home; budgets run tight. We are in contact with the Lake Senior Center to research this possiblity.

 

I have attached a letter we are using to gather donations from local businesses. Feel free to download and distribute as you see fit. It is my hope that by getting out a bit earlier this year, will find us better prepared for the project.

 

Donations can be mailed, delivered, or call me and I will gladly pick-up. (Please deliver to Toby's by Dec. 16th.) 


My contact information is listed below.

 

 

Please consider participating in this special cause. I promise it will make a difference; it did last year!

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Toby Rubin
