REPAIRS NEEDED

Some of the 5th wheels that were bought for the families effected by the fires have leaky roofs. We are looking for someone who can volunteer to do some repairs. Maybe it will not rain again, but who knows. Please call me if you have ideas or have some contacts.

ITEMS NEEDED BY FIRE SURVIVORS

Ginny Martineau-Davis, who is collecting items for fire survivors, writes: "We are still in need of items as families are getting settled into their homes and will do so for the next several months. It is easy to forget their needs as time goes on but there is so much long term assistance that is needed for the families of our community in order for them to move forward. It has been extremely heart warming to experience the out pour of donations from our community as well as their eagerness to help. This is why VC is a great community and a place I have called home for 30 years.

1. Couches in good shape (sleeper couches are golden)
2. Dinning room tables and chairs in good shape
3. Mattresses: Queen and smaller
4. Bookshelves
5. TV stands
6. Working TV's
7. Working DVD/VHS players
8. Bed frames and bunk beds

HELP FOR LA JOLLA TRIBE

During the fires last month 94% of the La Jolla Indian Reservation burned and 54 homes were lost. Over the weekend that number rose by one more house that was lost to flooding caused by the fires. There is no casino on the reservation to provide ready funds to the tribe.

A La Jolla Band of Indians Fire Relief Fund has been established at the Bank of America. You can donate to the fund at any Bank of American branch.

If you want to send the money directly to the tribe, mail it to 2200 Highway 76, Pauma Valley 92061.

TOYS FOR TOTS IN VALLEY CENTER

The Valley Center Coldwell Banker is your collection point for the Marine Corps Reserve’s Toys for Tots drive. The Marines request that all toys be new and unwrapped. Coldwell Banker Real Estate office is located at 27301 Valley Center Rd. There is an even more than usual need for toys due to the devastation of the wildfires.

FIRE RELIEF CONCERT

The VC-P school district will be reviving its “Teachers and Friends” Concert, which was originally used to raise money for the Maxine Theater. This time it will be used to bring the community together and support the families of VCPUSD students and employees who lost their homes in the fires. The concert will be Dec. 15, 2 p.m. in the Maxine. Production costs are being underwritten by donations so all proceeds will go directly to support our the stricken families. Admission is $20 for adults and $10 for students/children 18 and under.

FAMILY STILL NEEDS HELP

I tried going to Valley Center High School 2 weeks ago to see Mimi but she was already gone. My fiance and I are still in need of help. Gift cards would be great so that we can purchase necessities. Our apartment burnt down. Any help would be great.
