Tis the season

Today is December 1st and that means that the Christmas season is officially underway!  Although December is already quite the busy month with holiday parties, shopping, house decorating and gingerbread baking, there is still a lot of fun to be had in our own backyard.

Here is a list of must-do events this month, right here in Denver:

9 News Parade of Lights, 16th St Mall – Dec 2nd @ 8 pm & Dec 3rd @ 6 pm

This parade has marching bands, floats and SANTA!  With daytime temps expected to be in the low 60’s this weekend, the weather should be about as good as it gets.

A Precious Gift

A Precious Child is an organization near and dear to my heart because they assist local families in need by providing them with opportunities and resources to empower them to achieve their full potential.   Their A Precious Gift program provides gifts to children who would otherwise go without during monumental times in their lives, such as birthdays and holidays.

In preparation for Christmas I will be posting different tags to Facebook with each child’s name and their Christmas wish list.   Each of you will quickly realize that their WISHES are truly NEEDS.   I encourage you to watch for my posts and if you feel a tug at your heart to sponsor a child, please comment on the post.  If I have more than one comment per post, I will offer other tags from which you may select.    If you would rather give a monetary donation to prevent shopping you may still select a child and submit your $50 donation.
Please deliver all gifts or monetary donations to my office:   Berkshire Hathaway HomeServies:   11990 Grant St. # 500 in Northglenn, CO 80233 by December 11th.  Our office is open M-F from 9:00-4:30.  
 
Thank you for considering to bless these precious children this Christmas!    Together we sponsored 20 children last year.  Please help me increase that number in 2017!
