Another good giving idea

The Lake Highlands High School PTA’s LH Angels each year runs an adopt-a-family program to help those who are struggling financially. The “Angels” work with the school counselors to identify families in need and pair them with a local business, an individual, a scout troop or team that will provide holiday gifts, food and decorations for the adoptive family. If you want to donate a gift card, adopt a family or become an LH Angel, contact Kelly Klemme at kklemme@earthlink.net or 214.549.0687.

Celebrating 40 years of skilled, experienced and compassionate care. Please visit our new website where you can now schedule an appointment on line.

There’s a place in Lake Highlands that boasts thousands of unique handmade gifts, and homemade goodies, but it is open only one day this year — Friday, Dec. 2 at 9:30 a.m. at the Highlands Oaks Church of Christ.

The Holiday in the Highlands Market is a popular part of the annual Lake Highlands Women’s League Holiday in the Highlands Home Tour, which will feature four of Lake Highlands’ most interesting homes (tour stops: 6831 Hyde Park, 9306 Wildhaven, 8827 Kenton and 9503 Shady Valley).

The league, over its 41 years, has raised $1,611,587, which it has used for Lake Highlands students’ college scholarships as well as community organizations, schools, and development and improvement projects in our neighborhood. The holiday market is a treasure trove of jewelry, toys, clothing, crafts, holiday decorations, stationary, bed and bath products, and other gifts.
