The ladies of COTTA are asking for your help with the Giving Tree that is located in the Bride's Room at the rear of the sanctuary. Please take a tag from the tree and write your name beside that item on the papers to indicate who is purchasing that item for the child. Please bring your wrapped gifts, with the tag attached to the outside of the package, by December 14. You are always welcome to give monetary donations, and the ladies will buy the gifts for you. Thank you for your help with this each year.
