*We had 32 children from Grant School walk over to our Donation Site, each carrying a hand made bag full of thoughtful items for our Family Connection program.

*We also received 28 black garbage bags full of new items for all of our programs from Petaluma St.James Church.

*Joy Hinke from Broad Com in Petaluma came in and told me that their company sold raffle tickets for prizes at their company party and intended on donating the $800.00 to COTS in the form of in kind items and cash. They also hosted a giving tree, and are donating those items as well.

*Santa Rosa Kaiser nurses and doctors dropped of a huge box that contained special gifts picked out for one of our Adopt a Family participants.

*A beautiful black bike with pink and white tires was dropped off for one of our teenage girls in our program. It was donated by Johanna Szostak and co-workers from Redwood Credit Union in Petaluma who pooled  their money together to buy it for her.

*Instead of buying each other gifts, IONS (Institute of Noetic Sciences) generously gave attention to our emergency shelter folks by buying them things on their most wanted list. Awesome!
