Helping Hands

Colorado Shops for Kids Books are on Sale Now
Shop May 1 - 14!
The books are $50, and all of the proceeds go directly to the Colorado Children's Campaign.  Most of the shops in the book are offering a 30% discount on one item or service.  LambShoppe is offering 30% off one item, and we are counting one particular type of yarn as one item, so now's the time to purchase for that sweater... or afghan.  The 30% goes directly to the Campaign.  You decide what's on sale from May 1 - May 14.  Visit www.coloradokids.org for more information.


Denver Health Chemo Caps
