Truckee Community Christmas
It is the time of the year that we all get into the spirit of gratitude for what we have and also the spirit of giving for the less fortunate ones. I will be standing outside Safeway this Sunday December 6 from 1-3pm to help collecting food so please stop by for a chat and make a small donation. Dickson Realty also has barrels collect clean coats & toys in the lobby area so please go through your closets & bring down extra warm coats that you have not worn in a long time. It will help to free some needed storage space and also make a great gift for our cold winter.
