Great giving opportunity! December 6, 2009

Are you searching for a meaningful way to share the holidays with family and friends? Would you like to give gifts that honor those on your list while also providing help and hope to others?
If so, come to the Season of Giving Alternative Gift Fair on Sunday, December 6th from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. in the Reardon Lobby on Anderson University's campus. Shop from 17 local nonprofit organizations for "virtual" gifts such as a bag of food for a needy family, medicine for a sick animal or school supplies for underprivileged children.
With each purchase, you'll receive a beautifully wrapped gift card featuring the organization whom it will help. All gifts are tax-deductible and will be matched by the generous donations of local businesses.
Alternative gifts will be available from:
• Alternatives, Inc.
• Anderson Education Foundation
• Character Counts of Madison County
• Children of Promise
• Dove Harbor
• Gateway Association, Inc.
• Habitat For Humanity of Madison County,
• Healthy Tobacco-Free Madison County, Inc.

• Madison County Community Health Centers, Inc.
• Madison County Literacy Coalition
• Madison County SPCA Humane Society
• Second Harvest Food Bank of East Central Indiana
• The Christian Center
• The Paramount Theatre Centre
• United Way of Madison County Born Learning Connection.
Children are welcome to attend and credit cards will be accepted.
Please join us for this unique opportunity to honor those on your gift list while also providing help and hope to those less fortunate who are not on anyone's gift list.
