Dear Friends,
November is here along with our opportunity to “Light the World!” and participate in the Giving Machine activities here in Pocatello! Giving Machines will be in Pocatello from Nov 14th through Nov 29th from 11:00 am to 9:00 pm each day at the ICCU headquarters at 4400 Central Way, Chubbuck. The launch celebration activities will begin this Friday, November 13th at 6:00 pm and include a ribbon cutting, tree lighting, and Lava Flow Dancers at 6:45 and Evie Clair at 7:30.
Light The World Giving Machine kiosks are big red vending machines where you can donate special items to those in need through select local and international charities. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints sponsors the machines and covers the costs so that 100% of your donation goes to the charity you choose! Please take a few minutes and learn more about the amazing charities to donate to who do so much good! Please visit the Pocatello Giving Machine website for schedules of daily entertainment, answers to frequently asked questions and inspiring information.
The Highland Stake’s assigned day to provide volunteer support and entertainment is Monday November 23rd. You’re especially encouraged to visit during your ward’s assigned time on the 23rd in addition to as many times as you would like! Giving machines will also be in Rexburg and Idaho Falls through November and December.
Please announce this information in your ward meetings and youth group activities and invite family, neighbors, friends and co-workers to come with you and visit the Giving Machine and feel the Spirit of the Christmas season and of our Savior’s love through sharing with those in our community and around the world.
We are grateful for your support of this year’s Light The World Giving Machine experience! This is a truly joyful event and we appreciate your efforts to share the light and love of the Savior with our fellow sisters and brothers in our community and across the world!
Warm regards,
Highland Stake Giving Machine Steering Committee
