Many Thanks...

creating holiday crafts together with full bellies from a wide
assortment of food and beverages provided by the Committee. Our
community is so grateful for your efforts to plan this event, and for

10 Ways to Give
During these difficult times, many of our
families, friends, neighbors and charitable organizations are in need
like never before. Please consider a gift of your time and
treasure providing help to someone less fortunate.
Here are some ideas to get you started:
1.
Donate to the Kyrene Schools Community Foundation and support Kyrene
students, teachers, projects and scholarships that would otherwise go
unfunded.
2. Make a
tax credit donation to the Kyrene school of your choice.
Donations help fund many extracurricular activities including character
education, fine arts and athletics. The Kyrene District Office -
8700 S Kyrene Road, Tempe (NW corner Warner & Kyrene Roads) will be open
on December 31, 2008 from 10 -2 for last minute donations.
3.
Support the American Indian College Fund. The ability to
secure financial aid can mean the difference between receiving a college
degree and dropping out.
4.
Donate or volunteer your time to Native Connections and help their
efforts of offering transitional and permanent affordable housing to
low-income individuals and families.
5.
Support Native American Fatherhood and Families Association and help
strengthen families through responsible fatherhood, bringing honor to
both families and Native heritage.
6..
Give the gift of life - donate blood and save a life.
7.
Volunteer to help homeless kids. Stand up against youth
homelessness in Phoenix and help a child find a brighter future.
8.
Sign up to participate in the 2009 Heart Walk to help end heart
disease and stoke.
9. Attend a Kyrene Native American
Parent Advisory Committee meeting or event (the next one is January 24,
2009).
10. Volunteer in your child's school
and let all children know that education matters!
