The Ellis Family
| The Ellis Family is in need of our prayers. Their young daughter was diagnosed with leukemia; she was taken to Gainesville, Florida for treatment. The doctors have begun the preparation for chemotherapy. Her father is on his way home from a deployment. They are in need of help and the MSC is going to do what we can to assist. We are making an immediate $100 donation to them and plan on doing a larger donation after the new year. If you can donate to this family at all, we are going to take up a collection at the next MSC meeting. Thank you for your support and prayers for this family.

Child Care Needs
| With deployments a part of the everyday life of a military spouse and parenthood something that cant just be set aside, MSC offers child care for our meetings. But we are in need of people to help watch the children. If you have a teenager willing or know of someone, or are willing to split up the meeting and sit for a while yourself, please email our Child Care coordinator at childcare@moodyspousesclub.com. We are also asking if you could donate $3 per family towards the care of your children at meetings it would be appreciated. |

| Cookie Drive |
| The Cookie Drive was a huge success! Thank you everyone for your help and donations of cookies. It made our Airmen very happy. We were able to give each dorm resident 1 1/2 dozen cookies and we were able to get a large donation down town to send to some of Moody's deployed Airmen. Thank you again everyone for your help with this noble event. |
