Ah, the holidays. So after Veteran's Day last month, I took a month off from blogging, and wow, has a lot happened since then! Rather than take a look back, let's look ahead to the last few weeks of December 2009!
Holiday Par-tays
How many holiday parties have you been to so far? Well, here's a few more for you to add to your calendar!
- What: Amy Clark Meachum Fundraiser & Children Book Drive
- When: Monday, December 14th from 5 to 6 PM
- Where: The Austin Club, 110 East 9th Street, 3rd Floor
- Why: Amy Clark Meachum has been a long time supporter of children's literacy programs like Reach Out and Read, and Reading is Fundamental, and is a current board member of Booksprings. Amy is running for 353rd Civil District Court, and this event will be a great time to get to know more about her, donate to her campaign and/or donate to the book drive.
- What: H.O.P.E. for the Holidays - Grassroots (casual dress) Gala
- When: Tuesday, December 15th from 6 to 8 PM
- Where: Jovita's at 1617 South 1st Street
- Why: Share some hope for the holidays and join Texans for Obama, Organizing for America, and Travis County Democratic Party for this fun and festive event! Find out more about the event by visiting www.AustinHopeForTheHolidays.com. Pick a gift from the list and bring your wrapped donation in-tow on Tuesday.
Last minute holiday gift shopping solution!
It's par for the course for me to do my Christmas shopping two weekends before Christmas. So, I'm right on schedule, because I checked most of the items off my fam & friend gift list today. I picked up toys from
Terra Toys and a few gift certificates from local joints. All I need is to figure out what I'm going to wrap or put these gifts in.
If you're running behind and not sure where to find cool, local gifts for your loved ones, then you've got to run over to Lincoln Village and check out this year's Blue Genie Art Bazaar!
Wishing you all a healthy, safe, and joyous holiday season!
