On Nov. 13 Napa Heifer volunteers staffed two gift fairs--one at the First Presbyterian Church and the other at Convent Presbyterian Church. The events raised funds and awareness for Heifer and were very successful with numerous animals (both real and stuffed), books and ornaments purchased, and information presented.
Another alternative gift fair will be on Sunday, December 4, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the First Methodist Church in Napa.
Also on Saturday, November 26, from 1 to 3 p.m. there will be a Heifer display and book sale at Copperfield's Books, 3900 Bel Aire Plaza, in Napa.
Monday, December 5 through Saturday, December 10 there will be a Heifer Book Display in the Children's Room, Napa County Library, 580 Coombs St., Napa.

Are you starting to think about holiday shopping? Holiday shopping will not only be made easy but also benefit a good cause at the Heifer International Living Gift Market Saturday, Nov. 19 at Green String Farm in Petaluma. This free, fun family event will be held from 1 to 4 p.m.
There will be refreshments and farm animals to pet and admire such as mini-cows, mini-goats, a sheep and chickens, and bees to observe. We will have some down-home music provided by Tony Robinson Music. There will be information about Heifer’s work to help end world hunger and to transform entire communities. The idea is to make a donation which will give a gift of an animal from chicks to goats, from cows to pigs, trees or bees, for example, through Heifer’s programs around the world and also in the United States, programs which also include training. You can honor family and friends with a gift that goes on giving. Gifts are acknowledged with a gift card which you can then present.
Green String is a sustainable farm located at 3571 Adobe Road, Petaluma.
