Community Service
by Christie Hill, Chairman
Hello Ladies!! I've been a little slow getting this out to you, but here is some information from Nationals.
Did you know that DisneyParks is giving away a free park pass to Disneyland or Disney World for up to 8 family members? All you have to do is volunteer your time for a day, (come on, really?? we do this every day!).. Sign up through the National website and participate in a program qualified for volunteering with and wah-lah, park pass. You all wanted to go to a Disney park this year right? As always term and conditions apply.. It sounds easy enough, I'm in the middle of the aplication process, I tried to apply on the disneyparks.com website, but Homer doesn't have any volunteer oppertunities. I tried for Anchorage and they have a couple places, but I contacted Nationals to see how to let my work here in Homer be counted. I will give you more information as it comes my way.
Are You an Organ Donor?? As of December 9th 2009 there were 105,165 cantidates waiting for an organ or tissue transplants with 21,422 transplants performed from the gifts of 10,916 donors. What can we as Auxiliary members do? Go to the website www.organdonor.gov to find teh answers to every question you might have about being a donor. When you re-new your license you can become a designated donor, a small red heart will be on your license to show you are a donor. I am!!! Give the Gift of Life, be a Donor!!!
