Valley Home 4-Her Callie Chrisman is collecting empty shoe boxes to fill! Callie will be filling the boxes with basic supplies and either a boy toy or a girl toy. Callie’s family will be delivering the boxes to victims of the fires in Northern California on December 5th. If you would like to donate please contact Callie or mom Sally at 209-312-3184. The last drop off date will be December 3rd. Thank you Callie for thinking of those affected by those terrible fires.

We couldn’t pass up this heart-warming story. Megan Eproson spotted an old tire on the side of the road, pulling over and picking it up, she carted it home and showed husband Thomas! Thomas got to work and now the Eproson boys have an awesome tire swing in their front yard. Every boys dream! Megan said the boys played on it until dark. What a great way to have fun together!

Please mark your calendar for Friday, December 21 and Saturday, December 22nd! Valley Home’s After School Program will be presenting their annual Christmas program in the gym, the program will be held on Friday evening. We are looking forward to this very special evening! The next day on Saturday, December 22nd, the community will gather to celebrate Christmas in Valley Home. At 5:30 p.m. you are invited to enter your float or just drive through the lighted Christmas parade. It is a beautiful evening. Immediately following the parade we will meet in our community park to light our little Christmas tree and sing Christmas carols! We will then walk across the street where we will enjoy a delicious potluck dinner together. More details to come!

Happy Thanksgiving to all; may your holiday be filled with love, laughter, friends, and family!
