HOLIDAY TOY DRIVE

Once again in 2008, the East Bay Chapter of the FPA is participating in the local Salvation Army's "Forgotten Angel" Toy Drive.  So far over 70 of our members have volunteered at recent chapter meetings in October and November.  IF EVERYONE PURCHASES THEIR PROMISED GIFT, then our chapter will reach our highest participation ever - and the Salvation Army will be so grateful, since this is being a tough season for them.  Through the December meeting, over 80 gifts are in!

If you have not signed up but are willing to join in our charitable effort and participate, here's how you can help:

Contact NANCY GIRE, CPA, CFP® - she is our Chapter Member who's spearheading the toy drive, at her home office.  You may reach Nancy via email (ngirecpa@hotmail.com) or by phone at (510) 758-8424.  And thanks in advance to any new volunteers, for doing your part in our annual community outreach event with the Salvation Army.

In 2005 we fielded a team of around 40 workers for a day with Habitat for Humanity, and we

plan to add more of that story -- as well as photos, if any -- to this page soon.

Here are useful links for more information about our Chapter, its activities, the FPA and more.
