December 4th, Teddy Bear Tuesday.  Please bring at least one teddy bear for collection  and distribution to the Police and Fire Departments who will  give to children who have been traumatized during accidents and other events.  Studies have shown that children's trauma is lessened when holding a teddy bear for comfort.  We did this collection many years ago and would like to make it a yearly event.  Please remember, only NEW teddy bears can be accepted.
