Canned Cat Food

One of my kitties recently went to kitty heaven, leaving behind 42 cans of Friskies cat food. My other cat won't eat it (he's a dry food kitty). This is the Friskies Pate variety pack you can buy at Costco. If there's anyone who can use it, you can contact me through the Ventana Ward list or at debbie at thewagers dot org and I'll get it to you.

All (Ryan W. here),

Our ward rocks!  We are some of the most generous and awesome people that I've had a pleasure of knowing.

As you all know, our ward signed up to help out several families in another ward.  We as a ward, stepped up and truly made a magnificent effort.  The presents that were wrapped last week by the young men and women were superb, and I sure that they'll be well received.  The young men and women were all amazed at the generosity of the ward.  Thank you!  Thank you again and again!

What we are lacking right now is non-perishable goods for the families.  I understand that this is short notice, but if any of you have extra canned food that we can give to the families as well, we would greatly appreciate it.  We would need the food delivered to Rett Reidhead's house by Tuesday early afternoon.

If you have any questions, please contact myself or Rett.

Thank you again for all that you do, and for helping making this a special Christmas not only for the families, but for our young men and women!  We are delivering everything this Tuesday, and we'll report back soon.

December Book Club

Dear Readers,

We will be hosting December's meeting:

on Thursday, December 20th
at 7:30pm
at Melissa S's home (Volcano Cliffs directory)

We are discussing Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell.  It is an incredibly interesting read and pretty quick too, so you still have time if you want to pick it up and get it done.

If so inclined, please bring a favorite Christmas treat or appetizer to share.  No pressure of course.  We will let you in with or without food ;)

If you have never attended our meetings before, we would LOVE to have you!  Please come, even if you haven't read the book.  We'll get you started on the next.

Our book for January will be The Riddlemaster of Hed by Patricia A. McKillip.  Plan for that one if you can't come in December.  We always meet on the third Thursday.

Merry Christmas, and may you enjoy many good books by the fire this season!

Canned Pumpkin

ABQ friends: Sams Club is closing out their canned pumpkin (3 pack) for $0.91.
Yep! That's less than $1 for 3 large cans of pumpkin!! Better go grab you some!!

Cookie/Goodie and White Elephant Exchange

What's Christmas without goodies? Sniffles...I don't even want to imagine that.  But who wants to make a ton of goodies on their own? Okay, I didn't say who wants to EAT all the goodies on their own, because we know we all want to do that.

I have an idea, let's share.

Why don't you make a bunch of one thing (can be cookies, candy, bars, etc). I will make a bunch of one thing. Everyone will make a bunch of one thing. Then we will all bring our one things to Amber E.'s house next Tues at 12pm and have a bunch of different things.

Sound good?

If this thing-sharing sounds like something you want to be a part of let me, Stef Burns or Susan T know and then we can know better how many things each person needs to bring. I am going to say plan on bringing 3 dozen things unless you hear otherwise.

Also, anyone who wants to participate in a White Elephant exchange just bring a gift that costs NO MORE than $5. It can be less...it is White Elephant remember. But no MORE.

Would love to see all you wonderful women and wish you all Merry Christmas as well. See ya there...with your things!

JON BARRIE

The Independent Candidate for U.S. Senate 7316 Williamsburg Road NW Albuquerque NM 87114 www.jonbarrieforsenate.com jon@jonbarrieforsenate.com 505-999-2118 My heartfelt thanks all of you who voted and supported my campaign efforts. We garnered almost 28,000 votes and sent a clear message to the establishment that there is a growing and organized constituency in New Mexico that yearns for Constitutional principles and common sense politics. You will remember that although we turned in an astonishing 10,000 signatures to the Secretary of State, a remarkable feat for our Barrie Brigade, she ruled that we were short 277 valid names. When we took that ruling to the New Mexico Supreme Court, justice was served and we were able to present an alternative to the establishment candidates. Our campaign is still being talked about across the nation. You should be proud of the inspirational job you did. Shame on the other candidates and their insider Washington friends. They spent over $18 million to buy this election. That works out to be about $24.94 for every voter who cast a ballot. We ran a $29,300 campaign—a new definition of bare bones budget! Now my job is to pay off the creditors: frankly, we are in need of $14,310. The law states that as the candidate, I am personally responsible for these obligations. That’s why I’m asking for your help in retiring this debt. Please help by donating anything you can: $25 or $250; $15 or $150 will help me get out of the red … and back on the front lines of fighting for our lost liberties. www.jonbarrieforsenate.com I don’t know what God has in store for me in the future, but I do know that once my mind is off of paying debts I’ll be free to make some decisions. God Bless you all and let us continue the battle to regain to restore the Constitution. Paid for and authorized by Jon Barrie for U.S. Senate; Robert Bowen, Treasurer

Wii & Movie Trade for Christmas--wish list

Wanted to see if anyone wanted to do a wii game exchange for Christmas. Does anyone have Mario Kart Wii they are not using anymore, or using very much. We have a soccer game, Fifa 2012 that we bought last year, that isn't getting used much. Or a movie trade. Brooke wants the movie, "Ella Enchanted," so I thought I'd see if anyone has it, and doesn't watch it anymore, or would want to do a trade/sale? How about a skateboard in your garage that you are not using anymore you would like to sell? How about a router for a laptop? How about the Magnetix building game for kids? Let me know if you have any of these things you would want to do a trade or sell? Thanks, Andrea rogersareblessed(at)gmail.com

get those holiday cards done!

Sam's Club is offering a sweet little deal on holiday cards.  If you order on Black Friday, you can get 100 4x8 or 6x8 cards with envelopes for $15.  Last year I was able to do it all on the internet and then pick them up at the store after a few days.  The ONLY way I get my cards out every year is by having most of the work done before Thanksgiving because we all know that December is really crazy.  Happy Holidays!

Where: Rogers Home: (look on ward list) We have lots of small dog cage, and an x-large dog cage, Christmas decorations, (our little grandparent neighbors gave to the kids so they could sell and make a little money)..that's why I decided to have the garage sale) We also have kids clothes, baby clothes, baby toys, baby big toys scooters, nice bikes that need to be fixed up a little (tires) that we got at a bike auction and never did anything with them (probably like $75....but we are just going to do $10), air hockey table, toys, games, kids books, and other misc. stuff.
