The December BayLISA meeting is usually a little different from the
rest of the year, but this year, we're veering a little further from
our standard course.

We'll be helping the Family Giving Tree sort and wrap presents.

The family giving tree distributes gifts to underprivileged families and
the homeless.   They work with various agencies to select the recipients,
who are then interviewed to get specific requests.  These cards are then
hung on christmas trees at companies around the Bay Area.  People pick
one or more cards off of the tree, purchase and wrap the gift, and then
return it.

These are collected from the host company, and returned to the Family
Giving Tree warehouse.

This is where we come in.  Each request needs to be matches with its
agency and intended recipient.  Wishes that weren't filled must be dealt
with.  Unwrapped presents must be wrapped.  And so on.

We'll meet at our normal time (Third Thursday of the month (Dec 21) at
7:30) but at a different location-- the old K-Mart in Milpitas.
BayLISA will provide goodies to munch on.  Feel free to bring friends
and family.  We should have lots of fun!  Everyone is welcome.

If you are interested, please send e-mail to blw@baylisa.org, so we
have some idea of how many people we'll have.  You are welcome to show
up without talking to us first, though.

How to get there:

	The Warehouse is located in Milpitas, on the corner of Weller and Abel.
 		From 880, take Calaveras Blvd (Highway 237) East into Milpitas.
	Turn Left at Abel (a Color Tile store is on the left corner).
	If you get the Milpitas Blvd, you have gone too far.
	Go down Abel, turn Right at the 1st light (Miller)
	Turn Left onto Main Street.
	Turn Left into the driveway at the gate.

	The office # is 408 274-3224
