SUMMARY:Christmas Assistance Program
DESCRIPTION:[1:16 PM] Jessie Burbank \nEvery child deserves to experience the joy of Christmas morning. The Salvation Army Angel Tree program helps provide Christmas gifts for hundreds of thousands of children around the country each year. Once a child or senior adult has been registered and accepted as an Angel their Christmas wish list is shared with donors in your community who purchase gifts of new clothing and toys. The gifts are distributed to the family to place under their family Christmas tree. \nThe Salvation Army collects necessary information to determine qualification for participation in the program and details on each Angel. Examples may include\, but are not limited to: photo ID\, proof of residence (lease\, utility bill or mail received from the school district or other government agency). Examples of documents needed for each child may include but are not limited to : birth certificate\, official custody or guardianship papers\, clothing and shoe sizes\, and a toy wish for each child. No private information for you or your Angel is shared with the public. Donors will only be given a first name and Christmas wish list for each Angel.

Sexual abuse can include\nboth touching and non-touching behaviors. Abusers often do not use physical force\, but may use play\, deception\, threats\, or other forms of coercion to engage children and maintain their silence.

SUMMARY:The Zetangle Method Online Class
DESCRIPTION:The Zentangle Method is an easy-to-learn and relaxing way of creating beautiful abstract art by drawing structured patterns (tangles). Tangles are broken down into steps making it easy for ALL ages and abilities! Even those who say they can’t draw (like me) can be artists! In 2014 I was trained by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas\, founders of Zentangle Inc.\, in Providence\, Rhode Island.\nZentangle is beneficial in relaxation and stress relief\, pain management\, art therapy\, in recovery\, working with children\, journals\, and creative inspiration. Many people say since practicing Zentangle they can sleep; fly without fear; hear and remember lectures; achieve new calmness\, focus\, and increase self esteem and confidence. Zentangle art can improve your life!\nFor more information on Zentangle and sign up for their Newsletter go to: www.zentangle.com\nWebsite: www.tanglealaska.com\nEmail me: donnajacobsonczt@gmail.com\nWork Phone: 907-348-8712 (please leave a message!)\nFiber Art Website: www.lockerhooking.com\nhttp://www.tanglealaska.com/
