Ornaments and decorations collection - After the Cerro Grande Fire, Los Alamos residents were blessed with an outpouring of good will from across the country. Part of that blessing was the collection and distribution of Christmas ornaments and holiday decorations to survivors of the fire. In light of the recent fires in southern California, the Los Alamos Girl Scouts, Brownies, Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts are working together to collect ornaments and decorations. These will then be sent to the San Diego Boy Scout Council, who will accept and distribute these ornaments and decorations to fire survivors. Los Alamos Boy Scout Troop 22 is coordinating the effort and will be placing collection boxes around town (White Rock and Los Alamos Smiths grocery stores, Los Alamos National Bank Customer Service Area, and CB Fox). A collection booth also will be outside the CB Fox Department Store during the upcoming Los Alamos Christmas Light Parade on Dec. 6. If interested in contributing to this effort, bring a new or used ornament to one of the collection points. For more information, contact Ruth Ann Neal at 662-5632.
