DECEMBER 2009
Suddenly,
it seems the holidays are upon us! Though
it can be busy, this is the perfect time of year
to support SCAN's continued impact on the
children and families of our community. Please
consider making a donation online or
donating an item from our 2009 Holiday Wish List.
Perhaps your neighborhood,
extended family or faith group is looking
for a way to make a difference
this season? Pool your resources and
make an even bigger impact!
