Celebrate a Child

December 16, 2009

Celebrate a Child

 

Despite a year of economic ups and downs, we have so very much to be thankful for-  our families, our health, our community. 
 
We are committed to our community, and this year, we will be committed to its children. The West Shore Food Bank has Christmas wish lists of nearly 80 children who, without generous consideration, will not have the kind of Christmas that     we all remember from our youth-  the excitement of opening gifts, the joy of receiving something wanted, the wonderment of holiday wishes come true.
 
This year, Tamarack Brewing Company, its sister establishments, and its community service group The Brew Squad, are committed to ensuring that each of those 80 children have the Christmas they are wishing for.  Some children are wishing for toys and books, others for winter boots and warm coats.  Regardless of the items wished for, all of these children need a Christmas Angel.
 
Starting Wednesday, December 3nd, please stop by Tamarack, The Grill, or Buns by the Lake to pick an angel from the tree with the name of the child and the gift they are wishing for this Christmas.  Should you prefer, you can make a donation and the members of the Brew Squad will shop for wish items.  We ask that gifts and donations be delivered to Tamarack by Tuesday, December 16th.
 

We have always believed that thinking local and acting local will help build stronger communities.  If you are a Tamarack follower yet do not live in the Lakeside community, we encourage you to look locally and give where it may be most needed this season.  Be an Angel in your local community.

Wishing us all the warmest of Holiday wishes...
