Fleece Navidad - A Gift of Care This Christmas                   
Once again, the Cathedral Philoptochos is collecting warm-up sweats for nursing home residents.  We just received our first 33 names.  As you all know, many of these residents either have no family nearby or means to provide certain basic items.  A new fleece or cotton warm up is sure to brighten their holidays this year!
 
Please support this worthwhile project by picking up a name or two at the Philoptochos table during November and December.  You may also receive a name by contacting Anna Morris directly via phone at 970-227-1023 or via email at amorris822@gmail.com

As an extension of our Fleece Navidad outreach project, Philoptochos will also be delivering a special Christmas gift to our veterans at the VA Nursing Home. Information will be forthcoming on this project.

Many thanks for everyone's support!
