MOSES LAKE BUSINESS ASSOCIATION<br />
The Holidays are Coming! Service Ideas for Your Family!<br />
This season is a wonderful time of year, especially for families. This is a great time to enjoy time together. If you want<br />
meaningful family activities this Holiday season, consider doing a family service project. Here are some fantastic<br />
family service projects for the Holiday season.<br />
Fill a Stocking for a Foster Child<br />
With over 260 children in Grant County Foster Care this project is <strong>org</strong>anized by the Grant<br />
County CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate for Children in Foster Care). Filling a stocking<br />
for a Foster Child is a fantastic and fun service opportunity that can be fit around your<br />
schedule. The concept is simple. We will provide you a stocking to fill with small gifts for a<br />
child. You can choose whether you want to give to a boy or girl, and there are different age<br />
categories to choose from as well. When you have filled the stocking with toys and other<br />
goodies, you return it and we will give it to the child. This is easy and fun to do. Your child will<br />
love helping to pick out presents to go to another child their age.<br />
Ideas for the stocking include: age appropriate items such as $5 gift cards, blanket, pajamas,<br />
stuffed animals, socks, underwear, books, coloring book/pads of paper, crayons/pen/pencils, school supplies,<br />
chapstick, cosmetics, hair brush/comb, hygiene products, nail polish, toiletries, toothbrush, small games, small toys,<br />
and snacks.<br />
Children living in foster care have had to give up everything from family, home, routine to pets and favorite toys.<br />
When a foster child has to move from home to home, personal items can get lost in the shuffle or left behind. A few of<br />
the most comforting things for a child involve the bedtime routine. Gift cards provide children living in foster homes a<br />
sense of control that many have never experienced, having come from the chaotic environment of abuse or neglect.<br />
Suitcases are always needed as well to give a child a way to pack their items rather than using grocery bags.<br />
Contact Teresa Wyman at 793-6700 x 4426 or twyman@grant.co.wa.us for more information.<br />
Toys for Tots<br />
Donating to Toys for Tots is one of the easiest and most convenient ways to change<br />
someone's Christmas for the better. They take brand new donated toys and<br />
distribute them to children who are less fortunate. You can donate at the Marine<br />
Corps Recruiting office in the Desert Plaza Building at the Corner of Third Ave and<br />
Alder St in Moses Lake from Nov. 5—Dec. 19th or at Sinkiuse Square during the Ag<br />
Parade and Street Party on Nov. 30th in Moses Lake.<br />
Call Sergeant Jimenez at 765-3039 for more information.<br />
Salvation Army<br />
I'm sure you see the red buckets and the ringing bells. The Salvation Army receives<br />
millions of dollars a year to assist needy families, the homeless and the elderly. You<br />
can change Christmas for someone just by offering your spare change on your way in<br />
or out of the store while shopping this season or by volunteering to ring the bell. It’s<br />
a great way to serve as a family! Call Ken Palek at 766-5875 for more information.<br />
The possibilities are endless as to how you can serve others this Holiday season. Not only will you be helping others, it<br />
will help to make the Holidays more meaningful to you and your family. Enjoy yourself and help others!<br />

Every year MLBA purchases<br />
plants from the FFA program<br />
at Moses Lake High School.<br />
The students decide which<br />
plants to � ll the pots with<br />
and plant each of the 133+<br />
pots in the LakeTown Landing<br />
area. MLBA then hires a person<br />
to water each and every pot on<br />
a daily basis. At the end of the<br />
season the students as well as<br />
volunteers clean out each pot for<br />
the winter season.<br />

Make a donation to Festival of Trees!<br />
Dear LakeTown Landing business –<br />
Last year the Moses Lake<br />
Business Association was happy to<br />
support Habitat for Humanity’s Festival<br />
of Trees event by decorating a tree<br />
called “Celebrating LakeTown Landing”.<br />
We used brass ornaments from year’s<br />
past depicting scenes of Moses Lake and<br />
under the tree were items from Lake-<br />
Town Landing businesses.<br />
We still have ornaments left<br />
over and have signed up to once again<br />
decorate a tree to be auctioned off at the<br />
Festival of Trees event happening on<br />
Saturday, December 1st.<br />
We want to once again call the<br />
tree “ Celebrating LakeTown Landing”<br />
and feature some of our 200+ businesses<br />
downtown. Would your business<br />
be willing to supply a gift for under the<br />
tree?<br />
Every business that<br />
participates will get their name<br />
attached to their gift under the<br />
tree as well as mentioned in<br />
the tree’s description and logo<br />
included in the full page ad in<br />
the printed program given to<br />
all attendees.<br />
The Moses Lake Business<br />
Association would appreciate<br />
your support. If you have<br />
something to contribute please<br />
contact Marianne at 764-1745 or<br />
drop it off at the MLBA office at<br />
Desert Plaza (Third & Alder).<br />
Thanks again!<br />
