11, noon-7 p.m.; and Sunday, Dec.
12, noon-5 p.m. To sign up, call
(503) 451-7900 and ask for Tom
Hanks.
“You don’t have to have a
Christmas program,” said Hanks.
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.
