AN ANGEL TREE has been placed in the reference room. Members are invited to take an angel off the tree and return the designated gift in an unwrapped box to the tree by Sunday, December 7. The gifts are given to the residents at Pleasant Acres. When you take an angel off the tree, please replace it with a candy cane that is in a basket adjacent to the tree. If you do not wish to bring an item, you can be a part of this holiday effort by making monetary contributions to purchase items that meet the residents' needs. If you want to make a cash contribution, please put it in an envelope and mark it "Pleasant Acres" along with your name or envelope number if you want your contribution recorded on your financial statement. If you contribute by check, please make the check payable to St. James and St. James will send one check with all contributions to Pleasant Acres.
