The Assisteens are going shopping on Sunday, November 29th For Gift of Giving.

There is great need this year as the Assisteens were asked if they would adopt a family for Gift of Giving on December 12th.  We agreed.  Below are details on this family and their Christmas wishes.  The Assisteens are going shopping on Sunday, November 29th.  We are asking if you can donate money to purchase gifts for this family.  We welcome any amount, preferably cash (if check make payable to Gisella Rewers).  On Sunday November 29th we will meet at the Target in the Marketplace (on Irvine and Jamboree) at 3 pm.  We will count our money collected and break up in groups to shop for this family.  We will also be shopping for other adopted families.  Two other ALSA members are giving us their money to shop for their adopted families.  We will buy and wrap these gifts as well.  So, we really need many Assisteens to come on this day and help us out.  Please email or call Gisella Rewers if you can attend gisellar@sbcglobal.net or (714) 742-8491.  It will be fun and you will earn service hours too!
