The Tarkio/Westboro Ministerial Alliance has launched its annual “Adopt-A-Child” Christmas program. This year, Tarkio will be handling the adoptions for Fairfax also. Applicants should apply through Community Services, the Tarkio First Baptist Church or Tarkio Elementary (Meghan Hughes, school nurse).

Qualified families or in-dividuals may apply for adoption through Thursday, November 11, at 12:00 noon. No applications will be taken after that date (no exceptions). Call Community Services at 660-736-4646 or Joan at 660-253-0087 to set up an appointment for application (you must call ahead).

To adopt a child for Christmas, contact Joan at 660-623-9700 or 660-253-0087.

For more information, call Joan or email her at mamachic@tarkio.net.
