[Neighbors] Fwd: Office of Neighborhood Coordination (ONC) Weekly E-News - Monday, Dec. 17, 2018

Wed Dec 19 17:44:21 MST 2018

Greg, thank you for passing on the information. I am going to be taking
some toys to the Pizza 9 on Coors and Rio Bravo. If anyone else is
interested in donating toys for kids in need, I can take it there when I
take mine. No pressure, just FYI.
