TOYS FOR TOTS AT CALIBRE LAKE

The U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program have distributed more than 400 million toys to more than 188 million needy children. This charitable endeavor has made U. S. Marines the unchallenged leader in looking after less fortunate children at Christmas. Over its 18 year life span, the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation has supplemented local toy collections with more than 81.3 million toys valued at more than $487 million; plus has provided promotion and support materials valued at over $6.3 million.

Calibre Lake will be working with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve-Toys for Tots Program to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December this year, and distribute those toys as Christ-mas gifts to needy children in the community. Our goal at Calibre Lake is to fill both of our boxes by December 15, 2011; please help us by bringing in your toy.

OH CHRISTMAS TREEOh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree...

whatever shall I do with thee? Calibre Lake loves the splendor of the Christmas Trees lighting up your apartments. The never ending question is: "What do I do with my tree after Santa Claus has come and gone?" Please DO NOT PUT YOUR TREE IN THE COMMUNITY DUMPSTER! We have a better solution. In January, ALL HOME DEPOT locations will recycle your Christmas Trees for free. So please, help your environment and help maintain the beauty of Calibre Lake by taking your tree to Home Depot for recycling.

A LOT OF GREAT RESIDENTS

We have GREAT residents, and we're always looking for more. Do your part in "enlisting" new residents so you can be an ac-tive member of the Calibre Lake team. When your referral signs a 12 month lease and moves in, we'll give you a signing bonus up to $300. It's like getting paid to know people!

SERVICE REQUEST DURING THE HOLIDAYS

A s t he ho l i days a re ap -proaching; please make sure to check your apar tment for any service request you may need. Maintenance will only be out for emergencies after hours on the holidays. This also helps prevent

maintenance from getting swamped with work orders and not being able to get to all of them in a timely manner. Feel free to email any non-emergency service request to info@calibrelake.com. You can find our holiday hours posted on December's calendar.

SAVE THE DATECalibre Lake will be hosting our

annual holiday party for all of the residents! We will provide food and drinks. Come take your picture in front of the Christmas tree. It would make for a great card to send out for the holidays. The party will take place from 6PM to 8PM in the Leas-ing Office.

HOLIDAY PACKAGESHaving packages delivered for the holiday season? We have

no problem holding your small packages for you here at the Leasing Office. We just ask that you please be sure to pick up your packages from the office in a timely manner. We don't have time to call each individual resident when his or her package arrives so please watch for when it will be delivered. All postal service workers are told upon arrival to leave notice on your door that your package is in the office. In addition, the office has the right to refuse any package that is too large, has too many packages being delivered or if it's not a resident that is listed on the lease. You can find our holiday hours posted on December's calendar.

Joke of the MonthThe Santa Claus at the mall was very surprised when a young lady about twenty years old walked up and sat on his lap.Santa doesn’t usually take requests from adults, but she smiled very nicely at him, so he asked her, “What do you want for Christmas?”“Something for my mother, please.” said the young lady.“Something for your mother? Well, that’s very thoughtful of you,’’ smiled Santa. “What do you want me to bring her? “Without blinking she replied, “A son-in-law!”

Smart, Safe Entertaining Ideas

When the party’s at your place, you can be sure to feel secure that safety is in at-tendance if you follow these tips from the experts at the Electrical Safety Foundation International:• Test your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and make sure your home is pro-tected by an adequate number of alarms. Alarms should be in stalled on every level of the house and outside each sleeping area. • Share your family fire escape plan with any overnight guests.• Make sure halls, stairs and doorways are properly illuminated and free of clutter that could hinder an escape during a fire emergency. Use night-lights in hallways and bathrooms.• Inspect all decorations, cords and outlets for damage before use. • Avoid overloading electrical outlets, which can overheat and start a fire.• Don’t run electrical cords across doorways or in high-traffic areas, where they pose a tripping hazard.• Keep decorations, gifts and other combustibles at least three feet from heat sources or open flame. • Never leave an open flame unattended, including the fireplace.• Stay in the kitchen when something is cooking. Unattended cooking is a major cause of home fires.• Use space heaters properly and safely. Keep them out of high-traffic and exit areas, and at least three feet from anything that can burn.• Turn off and unplug all decorations before leaving home or turning in for the night.Keep young visitors safe by preparing your home before they arrive: • If your home is not already “childproof,” install tamper-resis tant receptacles or use safety covers on all unused electrical outlets, including extension cords. • Store breakables, candles, matches and other potentially dangerous items in inaccessible or locked areas. • Don’t forget to put away small items, like buttons, coins and jewelry, which are choking hazards. • Use safety gates at the top and bottom of stairways to keep babies and toddlers safe.• Make sure children are supervised at all times in the kitchen and anywhere space heaters, candles or fireplaces are being used.

SAVE MONEY ON HOLIDAY GIFT SHOPPING

With the rising costs of gasoline and heating oil, as well as rising interest rate charges, saving money is at the top of everyone's wish list this holiday season. Here are some tips on getting the most out of your gift shopping dollars this holiday season.

1. Set a budget. This seems like a simple step, but many people fail to do this before starting their holiday shopping. Figure the total amount you can afford to spend on gifts and then divide that number by the total number of people on your list. This gives you the average amount that you should spend on each person.

2. Compare Prices. Some websites even offer customer comments which can give you valu-able information on quality, ease of use, customer service, and overall ratings for many products.

3. Go to websites that give major discounts. These websites offer products at discounts of 50% or more. Selection and quantity may be limited but, if they have what you are looking for, you can save a lot.

4. Shop at Thrift stores or Consignment Shops like the Salvation Army stores. You can find unique items at bargain prices, but be sure to check the quality of all merchandise. Remember, all items are sold "as is" and there are no returns.

5. Make your own gifts. Family members and friends will appreciate the time and thought that you put in to the gift, especially if it's personalized just for them. Some ideas are photo collages, scrapbooks, and framed photos or personalized gift baskets filled with the recipients favorite coffees, teas, candies, jams, and baked goods.

6. If you must shop with Credit cards, use only credit cards with low interest rates.

GETTING READY FOR THE WINTER

Whenever the temperature dips below freezing (32°F), please remem-ber to leave a faucet dripping and the cabinet doors under your sink open.

This will keep water moving through the pipes and

allow warmer air to circulate underneath

the sink, keeping the pipes from

f r e ez ing and bursting.
