and Auction-Thanks
-Christmas Pro
Thank you, thank you, and again thank you, ..to everyone
who helped to make this year's Bazaar and Auction the
festive community event that it was. There were many
memorable events from last week and all attendees
seemed to enjoy the Christmas Spirit! A special thank
you to our many chairpersons of the various commit
tees, and of course, thanks to Tina Stokes, Bazaar and
Auction Chairwoman. We appreciate the outstanding
services of auctioneer, Ronnie Farrell who helped get
our crowd to enthusiastically bid on our many auction
items. Thanks to Jill Rison for the beautiful and unique
children's artwork, to Mike McGuigan for providing se
curity, to Frank Solinaka for his help with Santa, and all
the families and friends that came out to support our
38th Bazaar and Auction. We will publish the profit in
January after all expenses have been paid.

Christmas Service Projects
Our Christmas tree in the hall is absolutely beautiful and
there is no room left underneath as it is fulloftoys. We
appreciate your giving spirit in support of this toy drive.
We collected
toys for local needy families. In addi
tion to toys under that tree are gifts of love from each
of you that donated something. You have given a child a
memory of a lifetime. We also want to thank you for
the participation in our out of uniform day that raised
money to help the family of the doctor who died of
Ebola. We raised $975 to send to them. These service
projects show our' children the importance of service,
compassion and love for those we may not even know.
Classes resume--9

Eight Gifts That Do Not CostA Cent
I. The Gift of Listening ..•
But you must really listen. No interrupting, no daydreaming, no planning your
response. Just listening.
2. The Gift ofAffection .•.
Be generous with appropriate hugs, kisses, pats on the back and hand holds.
Let these small actions demonstrate the love you have for family and friends.
3. The Gift of Laughter•••
Clip cartoons. Share articles and funny stories. Your gift will say, "I love to
laugh with you."
4. The Gift of a Written Note.••
A brief, handwritten note may be remembered for a lifetime, and may even
change a life.
5. The Gift of a Compliment...
A simple and sincere, "You look great in red," "You did a super job" or "That
was a wonderful meal" can make someone's day.
6. The Gift of a Favor .••
Every day, go out of your way to do something kind.
7. The Gift of Solitude.•.
There are times when we want nothing better than to be left alone. Be
sensitive to those times and give the gift of solitude to others.
8. The Gift of a Cheerful Disposition ••.
The easiest way to feel good is to extend a kind word to someone, really it's
not that hard to say, Hello or ThankYou.
Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to
succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to
open their hearts to us.
