Dec. 14 Wrap
up a Wish Project, 11 a.m. Christmas is quickly approaching and most of us
will have the luxury of receiving gifts from a loved one. However, there are
several hundred children in Larimer County that will not receive a gift this
year for Christmas. The Fort Collins Jaycees are wearing our hearts on our
sleeves and are working to ensure that at least 100 children in Larimer County
will have a Christmas dream come true. This holiday season we are gearing up for
our “Wrap-up a Wish Christmas Project” on Sunday, December 14th and hope
that you will join us in our mission to put the holiday spirit in the hearts of
children less fortunate. To volunteer, contact Arlen at fcjaycees@gmail.com
