Shirley Paul Angel Tree needs support
Location
The Carson City Raiders Booster Club recently held its annual Christmas Commitment fundraiser and through the efforts of its members and generosity of the community were able to adopt 15 homebound seniors through an arrangement with the Carson City Senior Citizens Center.
Just a few days after the fundraiser, one of the members received a call from Molly Cady in the marketing department at SlotWorld. The Angel Tree near the entrance of the Caravan Café was full of Christmas tags with the names of seniors who are in need of gifts.
“This time last year we only had about two dozen names left,” Cady said. “We still have about 50 tags on the tree and it’s 10 days before Christmas. I would hope these people don’t go without a gift for Christmas.”
The Shirley Paul Angel Tree has the names of residents at the Mountainview Assisted Living center on Koontz Lane. The gift suggestions are simple: slippers, sweatsuits, robes, pajamas or body lotions and perfumes.
The Raiders booster club is “adopting” an additional four residents from the Angel Tree, as they did last year when they found out SlotWorld needed help fulfilling the gift requests.
“Of course we can help,” said Nancie Pitts, merchandiser for the booster club. “We don’t want any of these people to go without, either. If we’re in the position to help, we will. They’re seniors and many of them are without family.”
To help, simply go to SlotWorld and head toward the Caravan Café. The Angel Tree is in front of the cashier. Take a gift card and purchase any or all of the suggested gifts. Then return them with the gift card to SlotWorld by Saturday morning. Slotworld is at 3879 Highway 50 East at Fairview Drive.
Monetary donations are welcome if you would rather not shop. For information, call 882-7568.
