Canyon Vista Collects Baby Gear for Marine-Moms-To-Be

Canyon Vista Elementary School is currently collecting baby items to be donated to 3rd Battalion/5th Marines in Camp Pendleton.

Team Dark Horse, a Laguna Hills support committee, adopted 3/5 Marines in Camp Pendleton and plans to give the donated baby items to Marine-moms-to-be during a Camp Pendleton baby shower.

Team Dark Horse released the following:

"The 3/5 Marines returned from their deployment in Afghanistan in April/May of 2011 with 25 killed in action and more than 150 wounded.  Nine months later, happier times for the Marines and their families will include the arrival of many new babies in early 2012—which we hope the community will celebrate with us through donations of baby items."

Diapers, formula and baby clothes are all needed. Donations will be accepted until Oct. 5 and can be dropped off at the Canyon Vista Elementary front office or at the Laguna Hills Community Center, located at 25555 Alicia Parkway.

Contact the Laguna Hills Community Center at 949-707-2680 or Mike Bland at 949-831-6689 for more information.
