Angel Trees, Toys for Tots’ Efforts Make Holidays Better for Children
ÌÇÐÄvlogs nursing students, the Child Development Center and the Associated
                  Students at Western Nevada are doing their part to brighten the holidays for area
                  children.
                  
                  Like it has in the past, the ÌÇÐÄvlog chapter of the National Student Nurses Association
                  has set up Angel Trees in the Cedar Building: Room 216 and the Nursing and Allied
                  Health Office in Room 101.
                  
                  Both trees contain tags with special Christmas present wishes from local children.
                  The angels in this cause are the individuals on campus or in the community who want
                  to remove a tag from one of the trees and purchase the gift of the childs wishes.
                  The unwrapped gifts can be returned to either location so they can be distributed
                  to the Salvation Army of Carson City.
                  
                  The CDC has continued its involvement with the Toys for Tots campaign. To donate to
                  this cause, purchase a toy and place it in a collection bin located at the CDC.
                  
                  This is a wonderful way to give back to our community in need and we definitely discuss
                  with our Pre-K class what it means to participate and how they can help, said CDC
                  Director Anna Lisa Acosta-Rogers.
                  
                  Acosta-Rogers said that children have been bringing in canned food to donate as well.
                  
                  ASWN is also involved in the same Toys for Tots campaign through the Ron Wood Family
                  Resource Center in Carson City, setting up collection cans in the Student Center in
                  the Joe Dini Building and in the hallway fronting the Presidents Office area in the
                  Bristlecone Building.
                  
                  Thanks to those who have donated gifts!
