Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree......

The MiaMaids are looking for a "gently used" Christmas tree to decorate and donate to a needy family through the United Way.

If you have a tree for them to take off your hands, please contact Jennie Cartwright.

Thanks!

They are still waiting for test results on the lymphnoids (hopefully tomorrow).
