*** Winter Festival is Soon - Saturday, January 24th***
Winter Festival is coming up! Saturday, January 24, 2009! As always, Winter Festival will be held at the Denver Department of Human Services, 1200 Federal Blvd. This event provides gifts to Denver-area foster children, giving them an opportunity to celebrate the holidays. Of course, we are still accepting donations of toys, stuffed animals, sporting goods, and books! Please deliver toys to the DBA offices, 1900 Grant St., 9th Fl, or contact Kelley or Gillian (below) for pick-up! If you would like to make a monetary donation, please make checks payable to the DBA-YLD and put “Winter Festival” on the memo line and mail to the DBA offices. Monetary donations are much appreciated!

We still need volunteers for the evenings of Thursday, Jan. 22 (toy sorting at the DBA), and Friday, Jan. 23 for set-up at DHS! Please consider donating an hour of your time!

Anyone interested in helping, planning, or participating in this event should contact DBA-YLD Executive Council members Kelley Bergelt at kbergelt@irelandstapleton.com or Gillian Bidgood at gbidgood@baldwin-carpenter.com. Thanks and we look forward to a successful event!
