Non-Profit sponsorships & Christmas Spirit
Blessings are especially evident at Christmas time, and I have the blessing of being in a community where each shining light shines brighter where there was darkness. My business has been adopted by local groups and individuals working toward my success almost as much as I can! I offer my support to anyone who would like to support the community, and have many stories to tell of my visitors who are out doing amazing things.
Judy Alley and the SnowCap staff are one of the bright lights here in Rockwood who has shown her strong support for my business and brings people in to Park Place regularly. I asked Judy if the Rockwood Business Coalition could support the children of SnowCap with a gift giving tree at Park Place Coffee and she immediately got me a list of items from the wish list of SnowCap children. Most of the wishes have been sponsored by customers of the coffee shop, though a few still remain. Gifts are coming in and now surrounding the tree. Some of the wishes were so dear, I share them here:
7 & 9 year old brother and sister want board games they can play with their newly recovered mother.
10 year old girl with an interest in cooking wants a cook book that she can begin with.
8 year old boy wants something to do with bugs, something his mother would let into the house.
6 year old boy wants to build things. He would enjoy Lincoln Logs, Legos, wooden blocks, anything to build.
12 year old miss is hooked on Harry Potter stories.
3 year old twins love to play together. Mother thinks Play Doh would be fun for all three of them.
13 year old girl likes to do crafts, wants to learn to knit, and is good with beads.
2 year old has a mother who wants him to learn shapes and colors.
7 year old girl has lived in four states already. Her mother would like her to have a map of the US with each state a separate piece.
6 year old Hispanic girl would like a doll with dark hair.
8 year old boy wants to be a handyman like his dad. He would love any kinds of toy tools.
Speaking of lights, another non-profit's local efforts will stand out on Friday, December 14th from 6-8 p.m. People for Parks, a non-profit who has done so much to turn the quality of Vance Park around, will hold the lighting of the luminaries on Friday, where the whole park will be aglow with candles and Christmas cheer. Kathy Minden, founder of People for Parks, will include complementary beverages at Park Place Coffee as part of the celebration.
We welcome anyone to join us by supporting the SnowCap Giving Tree, or enjoy the efforts of People for Parks on December 14th.
