Decorating A Special Tree With A Mission

This week, the Bloomfield Community Center is home to the community tree decorating sponsored by the Jessen-Meirose V.F.W.

Many trees have sprouted up inside the community center already but there is room for many more.
The Little Bees Daycare stopped in on Tuesday to decorate their tree and help Emily Lauck decorate her special tree.

Lauck sets up a special tree dedicated to Campassion International. This organization helps pair sponsors to children in need. As the daycare children hung up pictures of the children in need of sponsors, Lauck explained how she sponsors a child through Compassion International.

"His name is Todsapon," she told the kids.

The daycare children were intrigued by his name and asked where his picture was hanging on the tree.

"His picture isn't on the tree because he already has a sponsor. The children on the tree are still in need of sponsors," Lauck explained.

Lauck and her little bees hope the community will visit their trees and leave donated non parishable items below them. If interested in sponsoring a child, visit www.compassion.com

The trees will be set up in the community center through the end of the year for public viewing. There is still room for trees. Decorating can be done anytime between now and Nov. 30.
