'Tis the season!

I know I am already jumping ahead of the game here but I am on here in hopes that the 3 people who do actually read my blog will help me. I have become part of a women group (which is a long story on who,what, where, when, why and how) that meets once a month and does something for themselves. However this month we are a step ahead of the game and going to work on 2 very different project that will help those in need. The first one is a scavenger hunt (yes we are older but we want to make it fun!) for food for 2 hopefully 3 thanksgiving dinners for a few families that may need a little extra holiday spirit.

The second one is collect for a few animal shelters in the salt lake valley. Alot of people are starting to give away animals because they don't have the means for their families let alone the pets. Shelters are overwhelmed with animals to care for and the lack of supplies Isn't helping. As this women's group we are stepping in to hopefully help make a difference small or big. I am on here to ask anyone who is willing to help donate to please do. I will be more than willing to stop on my way to work, school or even swing by over the weekend to pick up some extra supplies you may have lying around the house. If you are feeling really motivated you may even pick up one or two while at the store... Please help! Here is what we need:

List 1
