No it is not too late, normally the way it works is that children write their letters to santa and they are available at the tree at tequila barrel you can pick one and buy the specific present and it takes place at chritsmas if you have something specific you want to bring I can check if there is a letter asking for that!
gracias

Lavonna from Angel Notion and Brian Borjesson (comandante of the Bomberos) has asked me to request that any kind folks who can to bring down some Candy canes to donate to the 2006 Angel Notion/Bomberos Christmas drive. They can't be found here easily and the kids just LOVE to get one of them when they receive their donated gifts.

The candy canes can be left at any of 4 Angel Notion/Bomberos gift tree locations: Tequila Barrel on 5th between 10th and 12th, at Paseo del Carmen shopping mall at 5th avenue near the ferry dock, La Vagabunda restaurant on 5th between 24th and 26th, and next door to the new Burger King on 5th avenue between 6th and 8th streets.

If you want to make a child's Christmas, feel free to pull a "wish" off the tree and purchase the gift at a local store, or simply donate some money so that every kid who has a wish gets their gift. Nothing can describe the feeling of joy it gave me the last two years to watch the child open the gift they most wished for that I was able to purchase for them. Talk about tears of joy! Way more rewarding for me than the other way around.

Like to help purchase a gift for a needy child, but won't be here to donate? Go to www.angelnotion.org to submit a PayPal payment earmarked "Christmas gifts" in the comments section of your transaction.

Incidentally, I'll be manning the Tequila Barrel tree for a couple of shifts per week leading up to Christmas, then again when I return from Chicago at the New Year. Be sure to stop by and say, "Hi!"

Drat, I have so much to do for the remainder of the night (and our ride to the airport arrives at 3:30 a.m....) I won't be able to get out and get candy canes. Wish I'd seen this sooner. We've got a bunch of toys, though, and will check out the "wish" tree at the TB as well. Hope to see you there Heather, and maybe at La Ranita Saturday night?
(I also have maple syrup. And porter. )

CHRISTMAS 2006
Our goal is 30,000 gifts to produce 30,000 priceless smiles!
“Children are the hands by which we take hold of heaven.”
Henry Ward Beecher (1813 - 1887)

Angel Notion and Los Bomberos de la Riveria Maya (Fire dept. of Playa del Carmen) are proud to announce that we are celebrating our 4th annual “A Gift from your heart,” which provides gifts to children for Christmas and Three Kings Day (January 6th). This year we are focused on collecting toys, non-perishable food, blankets, and monetary donations for those in our community who, without our program, wouldn’t have a Christmas at all. We are pleased to say that this year, we will have FOUR gift tree locations where you can learn more about Angel Notion and the Bomberos, choose a child’s “wish” off the tree, or make your donation.

Inauguration: On Saturday the 9th of December at 6:00 pm at the Paseo de Carmen shopping mall, help us celebrate the spirit of giving. You can come and drop off your toys, blankets, food and donations there, or at any of the other Gift Tree locations, and watch the pile grow every day.
All the trees will be accepting donations from 12 noon to 10pm from December 9th through the 5th of January, except for the tree at La Vagabunda, which will be accepting donations from 8am to 2pm.

Any additional funding will go to sponsor 6 children from the Angel Notion clinic who are waiting for life saving open heart surgery at a cost of $13,500.00 dollars.

Participate with us by GIVING FROM YOUR HEART!

A special message from Angel notion’s President, Lavonna:
Christmas is for making wishes come true. I love giving to my community; it’s so neat to see a child smile and jumping for joy over a Barbie or a Matchbox car. I have the pleasure to be able to give a lot more in the Angel Notion clinic: from things as simple as giving a child the possibilities of walking to saving a life. Wow! What more needs to be said, other than… Without the support of Playa del Carmen and the hundreds of the people involved, Angel Notion would have never become such a beautiful reality! With your help, we look forward to opening the Surgery Center, which will only make a bigger difference in our community!

Angel Notion’s team wishes you a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year!

A special message from Bombero Brian;
I was asked to write something and all I can think of is Thank You to all of you who live here and those of you who come to vacation or just pass a warm winter with us. I have lived all over this world, but never any place for 12 years. I must say that Playa del Carmen and the community we have is like nothing I have ever experienced. We are a collection of nationalities and our community has proven its value over and over. Remember, just this time last year we were recovering from two hurricanes! Our local businesses, county officials and our amazing locals had us open by Christmas. It gives Lavonna and me great pride to have two foundations that are so well supported by our local population and businesses. Our mission this year is to have a door opened that all of you who ever wished you had gotten involved in the holidays can walk in and give your time to help us raise the funds to make this town an even better place to live and work. by making this Christmas very special for our children. If you want to be one of our Volunteers we have a job for you. If you have special talents or training, let us know. You will remember what Christmas is all about again: Peace on Earth and goodwill toward men

My family and I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and SAFE New Year.
It has been our honor to serve our Community!
