Dala Business Women - December 8th
December 2014
/'Tis the season
Please join us!/
For our No Muss, No Fuss, No Baking Christmas
And Do Good In The Community Party
*Monday, December 8th* is the date of our next meeting and we'd love to
have you join us. December is the month of giving and we definitely
support that idea. This year we've selected two very deserving
non-profits.

*A Place For You
<http://bpwmn.us4.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=988b44140f12c1299299733ff&id=6fd9b5e4e2&e=dcfcb8ed37>*
is a transitional shelter that serves as a safe place for people in
distress. It provides for basic needs and offers resources to provide
life-changing alternatives while respecting the dignity of each
individual. A "Wish List" for a Place for You is below.
*Mora Food Pantry *- Hunger is real in our community; everyday people go
hungry because they don't have enough to eat. The Mora Food Pantry
provides much needed food to families that would go hungry without their
help. A "Wish List" for the Mora Food Pantry is below.
We salute the volunteers who unselfishly give of their time, their
talents and their money to those who need it most.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
/The Party/
Each year we enjoy exchanging WRAPPED white elephant** gifts with each
other. Gifts are typically inexpensive, humorous items or used items
from home. To keep with the spirit of the white elephant, the gifts are
often gifts the participants have received outside of the game but do
not want.
Monday, December 8th
