There is never a better time to make a difference than now. While times are difficult one constant remains: making a difference in the life of a child never ceases to be important.
Many of you have purchased goats and bricks online as gifts. We send you or your loved one a beautiful certificate for the holidays, any occasion or ‘just because’.
But buying baskets usually only happens at our Pay It Forward Events. We have an agreement with Gahaya Links not to sell our baskets online so that Macy’s, who does an incredible job supporting the thousands of women, can take the opportunity for sales on their website.
BUT I HAVE SOME GREAT NEWS IF YOU’RE IN PORTLAND!!! 2 OPPORTUNITIES TO BUY OUR BASKETS FOR THE HOLIDAYS!
#1 SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, DECEMBER 6TH AND 7TH 10AM - 5PM at the Mt. Park Recreation Center in Lake Oswego. ADDRESS: 2 Mt. Jefferson Terrace - Lake Oswego, OR 97035 phone:503-635-3561
HOLIDAY BAZAAR OFFERS
LOCAL SHOPPING OPPORTUNITIES
On Saturday and Sunday, December 6-7, from 10 am to 5 pm Mountain Park will be holding its annual Holiday Bazaar at the clubhouse. This two-day annual bazaar offers holiday shopping, unique gifts, and original art from over 30 crafters, artisans, and local businesses - many of them Mt. Park residents.
This is a great opportunity to do your holiday shopping and find the perfect gift for the hard-to-buy-for person in your life. And while you’re out shopping be sure to swing down to the West End building on Kruse Way where Lake Oswego will be holding their annual Holiday Market. The Holiday Market will be open the same hours as the Mt. Park Bazaar. For more information please call 503-635-3561.
#2 FRIDAY DECEMBER 12TH, 5:30-8:30PM – ADDRESS: 1225 SE Grand Avenue Portland, OR 97214 phone: 503-885-8211
