      <title>2026 November Member Meeting - Sponsor a Family for the Holidays (November 11, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;h2 align="center"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#9E0B0F"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src="https://denveriaba.org/resources/Events/flyer-damion-2026.png" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

  &lt;h2 align="center"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#9E0B0F"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Our November meeting is Wednesday, November 11, from 6:00–8:30 pm at Caruso Kitchen Designs in Lakewood. We'll share a meal together and wrap gifts for this year's sponsored family through the Caruso Family Charities program.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

  &lt;h3 align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This year we're adopting the Moreno/Bustillos family: parents Vivian and Angel and their four children:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Damion, 14&lt;/strong&gt; — has Batten disease, a rare inherited neurodegenerative disorder that begins in childhood and progressively affects vision, movement and cognition. He is now bedridden, so comfort and care items mean the world to him.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Imani, 12&lt;/strong&gt; — loves anime, LEGO, drawing and gaming with friends&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Xitlalic&lt;/span&gt; ("see-claw-lee"), 8&lt;/strong&gt; — loves Barbies, baby dolls, hair bows, drawing and scrapbooking&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Adriel&lt;/span&gt;, 4&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;(turns 5 on New Year's Day)&lt;/em&gt; — loves Spider-Man, Sonic, SpongeBob and Minecraft&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 18px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; line-height: 28px;" align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;&lt;strong style="font-family: Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" color="#9E0B0F"&gt;Please view the FAMILY WISH LIST &lt;a href="https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F0D44A4A823ABF8C34-67057979-morenobustillos" target="_blank"&gt;HERE&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  &lt;strong style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu" color="#9E0B0F"&gt;and choose a gift you&amp;nbsp;wish to donate.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 18px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; line-height: 28px;" align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;&lt;strong style="font-family: Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Please save the receipts&lt;br&gt;
  with the persons name on them.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h3 align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gift cards are a wonderful option too: Walmart, King Soopers, Nintendo or PlayStation. The family can combine them toward the bigger wishes — a PlayStation 5 for Imani, a Nintendo Switch for Adriel, and a camera or photo printer for the family.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 18px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; line-height: 28px;" align="center"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 18px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; line-height: 28px;" align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;&lt;strong style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;If you cannot attend on Nov 11th but would like to donate a gift, please contact &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:janet@shearproductions.com" target="_blank"&gt;janet@shearproductions.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&amp;nbsp;- (303) 905-5899&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 18px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; line-height: 28px;" align="center"&gt;&lt;strong style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;for delivery options.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
