Early Birds’ Busy Holiday Season Starts with Turkey Trot
M
AC Early Birds celebrate the Thanksgiving and Christmas holi- days with several events that emphasize fun and generosity.
Throughout the fall, Early Bird volunteers collect prizes from area merchants and restau- rants for the Thanksgiving Turkey Trot. In between Thanksgiving and Christmas, Early Birds invite all MAC members to contribute toys and toiletries for the families served by the YWCA Yolanda House. This is also a time for viewing the holiday decora- tions around Portland on walks or runs. Finally, the Early Bird holiday celebra- tions culminate with the gala Christmas Breakfast and Fashion Show in the Grand Ballroom on Friday, Dec. 16. The Early Birds’ annual Turkey Trot is a chance for all MAC early risers to win valuable door prizes by donating to an outstanding charity for children and their moms. Starting around 5:05 a.m. on
Doling out door prizes at the annual Early Birds Turkey Trot.
Wednesday, Nov. 23, the Early Birds sell tickets for $1 each or 6 for $5 at a table opposite the front desk. (Cash preferred.) All receipts from the ticket sales are donated directly to Yolanda House. Administered by the YWCA and supported by Early Bird donations since 1995, Yolanda House provides a safe, welcoming emergency shelter and case manage- ment for women and children escaping domestic violence. Those who purchase a Turkey Trot ticket can attend the party and prize drawing that takes place the same
morning in the Library/Reading Room between 6:30-7 a.m. The prizes include great services and special foods and wine for holiday celebrations. From Wednesday, Nov. 23 until Friday, Dec. 16, the Early Birds also collect unwrapped toys for Yolanda House children and toiletries for the moms. Donors may bring toys, soaps and other toiletries to the Turkey Trot or leave them in a barrel near the Athletic Entrance.
On Friday, Dec. 16, the Early Birds gather in the Grand Ballroom at 6:30 a.m. for their annual Christmas Breakfast. This festive family event features breakfast, holiday music sung by the Balladeers and a fashion show of Columbia Sportswear. Decorations for the breakfast include displays of the items collected for Yolanda House, which then are presented to the YWCA along with a check from the Turkey Trot ticket sales. The breakfast concludes with the recognition of Mr. and Ms. Early Bird 2011. For more details about the Christmas Breakfast, see the December issue of The Winged M.
