Yes! We will be doing our Selby Holiday Lights again this year and hopefully I won't get sick and be unable to get out prizes in a timely fashion. Nominations for the following categories will begin 1 December and go until 12 December. The categories are:

Holiday Classic - Traditional and classic lights, not too much, elegant
Childhood Memory - Lights and animations that one would remember from their childhood
Total Griswald - Draining power supply for the rest of the neighbor, completely overwhelming and makes you draw your breath

To SelbyBay@gmail.com. Nominations will be accepted from 1 December to 12 December. All nominations will be posted on the front page of the website:

Judging will be by poll on the Selby blog. One vote per computer. Judging will take place 13 December to 19 December.

Lastly, if you receive any gift cards that you know you will not use or would like to purchase a gift card to donate, then I will be accepting donated gift cards from now until 9 January. Gift cards will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House in Baltimore. They can used by out-of-town families who have children in local hospitals. Ronald McDonald Houses provide shelter for families at little to no cost while their children are receiving specialized care at local hospitals.

Thanks!!

NOTE: Firehouse Santa will be coming to Selby this Sunday. If you would like to donate something, but can not be there on Sunday evening, then please bring your donation to the holiday party and we'll get your donation to Santa.

** Firehouse Santa **
The Woodland Beach Volunteer Fire Department will be escorting Santa around Edgewater and Mayo again this year. They will stop in Selby around 7:00pm and will ONLY STOP AT THE CLUBHOUSE. We all love to see Santa and it's a great photo op, but it is also a great chance to give to those in need during the holidays. Please bring a wrapped gift labeled with "boy" or "girl" and appropriate age range and/or size. Don't forget the older kids too (13 to17)! They will also be collecting new clothing.

This year the WBFVD is sponsoring Backpacks of Love and is encouraging everyone to bring an item to help fill backpacks to give to children who need to be removed from their environments. This is an amazing program and they rely on donations from our local communities. You can learn more about The Blue Ribbon Project and their "Backpacks of Love" program at:

www.blueribbonproject.org

If you would like to donate an item/s to The Blue Ribbon Project for the Backpacks of Love program and will not be able to see Santa on Sunday evening, then feel free to bring your donation with you to the holiday party and we will make sure Santa gets it. Here is a small list of the items they are looking for. There is a more comprehensive list on the website. Travel items are fine to donate. Please make sure that all items are new.

Shampoo/Conditioner
Deodorant
Toothpaste
Shaving Cream
Disposable Razors
Comb/Brush
Hair Ties
Body Wash
Bath Puff
Feminine Pads
Lotion
Teether
Baby Wipes
Diaper Cream

The Selby Goodreads group (Selby Bay Readers) has been totally updated. If you are reader and are interested, then feel free to hop over Goodreads and check out our "new" group. We are ALWAYS looking for new moderators. If you are interested, then let me know and I can set up a folder for you!

That's about it for this week! Have a great week and don't forget to fill out our sign up genius!! See ya on Friday!!
