Learning Center ■ we have some holiday giving ideas for you! i Tierney ckamas Print on possibilities abound participate in the giving holiday season. rst one requires no cash ily time, talent and good ggen, the grocery store on Highway 213 across from the col lege, will donate a $50 gift certifi cate to the local Salvation Army or Food Bank if you and a few of your friends will belt out some holiday tunes for an hour at the store. The event is called “Sing from the Heart” and takes place Friday, Dec. 10, from 2-7 p.m.; Saturday, Dec. ■ NDWICHK fWM iLw' Wiled Saijdwfe lg| Weekday Afternoon Special Sandwich Sizes 15» M<M> Ave, OR.

The holiday songs “can be formal or casual” and a group can be “three to four people, or any size,” he said. “The donation can be done in the name of the college or another organization,” he added. There’s still time — today and tomorrow to participate in the Giving Tree. This annual event is a way for students to help other stu dents who have children. Go to the Community Center, take a labeled ornament from the tree and go to the ASG office (inside the cafeteria) to find out what the child needs. Drop off the unwrapped gift by Dec. 2. If you just heard about the Giving Tree and didn’t have time to donate, consider a donation to Young Parent Opportunity Program (YPOP) here at Clackamas. They always need diapers of various sizes (preferably HUGGIES® brand) and baby wipes. Drop off donations at the Family Resource Center all year round. Call YPOP at (503) 657-6958, ext. 2592 for more information. Shelter makes a great gift as well. This idea, via KATU-TV news, is to donate to the Mount Hood Habitat for Humanity due to a recent break-in at their “Lillian’s Place” project trailer. Replacement tools would be welcome as this vol unteer organization does not have the resources to replace what was stolen. Drop off donated tools at the job site, 16842 SE Stark, Gresham. Habitat’s main office is (503) 262- 9794; ask for Magan or Sara. Finally, your thoughts about the troops during the holidays could be translated into actual letters: con sider sending them some fan mail. Send your name and address to: “Info Please,” Friends of Our Troops, P.O. Box 65408, Fayetteville, NC, 28306. Or, if money is not an obstacle, make a donation to the troops or their fam ilies by way of a number of request ed items. Information about these two ideas is posted on katu.com in their “hotlinks” section. 11-10-04 5:25 p.m. Staff reported lost credit cards in mall area.
