Public Notice

Here's the second half of our list of holiday wishes from area public service organizations. We needn't remind you that tax time is right around the corner, so give a lot!

Many thanks go to Stewart Gallas from AIDS Services of Austin, first for having the idea and then for assisting in compiling the majority of these wish lists for the second year now.

NOTE: The 1996 Holiday Wish Lists have been edited for space. All groups listed need office supplies, computers, and copiers. (We deleted these items first.) Please call first for specifications, as some organizations already have systems in place.

Cash and volunteer hours are universally understood.

Many organizations are happy to send cards for your donations in loved one's names. Happy Holidays and give, give, GIVE!
