Giving This Season
Two ways to show your support
With the holiday season coming up, I would like to remind you of a couple of ways you could give back. I know you do alot of giving throughout the year, but these two causes are near and dear to me, so I would like to ask you to consider giving to them.

The first one is the Forest Lake Food Shelf/Community Helping Hands. It is a local non-profit that helps families in the Forest Lake/Wyoming area. They accept clothes, food, furniture and monetary donations. ASLI frequently contributes to the wonderful place.

Another way might be to help me with something I have recently become involved in. It is called Molly's Adopt A Sailor and it helps by sending letters and care packages to sailors. As most of you know, my son Spencer has been in the Navy for two years now. He doesn't have the opportunity to come home for holidays, and him and his fellow sailors/soldiers always welcome things from home. This is a program that sends thoughts and reminders of home to sailors/soldiers that are away and don't have the every day items we are used too. Maybe consider giving toothpaste, deodorant, band-aids, etc., even non-perishable foods. I then pack these things and send them to my adopted sailor, and those in the unit.

If you are not a client, you can feel free to send me an email or call me and I will be more than willing to pick up any contributions you would like to give to either one of these organizations. I want to thank you in advance for any contributions you decide to make.
