Apollo family! Every year, we find a couple of families that are having a tough time and do what we can to raise their spirits over Christmas. This year, we have 3.
Single Mother with 2 boys ages 4 & 5
Single mother with 2 boys ages 10 & 11
Mom & Dad with 2 girls ages 5 & 9
We’re trying to get 1 present for each parent and 3 for each child. The tags on the tree each represent 1 of those gifts.
What to do: Please take a tag and buy a gift (kids under $50 value. Parents your choice), wrap the presents individually and tape tag to gift so we know who it’s for.
Please return wrapped presents to Apollo by Dec. 14.
Thank you everyone for helping some struggling parents give their littles a fun Christmas. ❤❤

Apollo Stocking Exchange Party.
Saturday, Dec. 18, 7:00 p.m. at Apollo.
Take a stocking, fill it and bring with you to the party for exchange. There’s only 1 rule: Fill it with something you would like to receive yourself. You can just come and not do the stockings thing if you like. We’ll have hot chocolate. If everyone could bring a treat to share, that would be great. See you there.

We are all looking for creative new ways to cook chicken. Here is another EASY chicken recipe to try. Give this Garlic-Ginger Chicken Thighs recipe a try!
Ingredients:
2 pounds skin-on, boneless chicken thighs
1 cup thinly sliced red onion
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons minced peeled ginger
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup fresh tangerine or orange juice
Freshly ground pepper
Vegetable oil, for the grill
Instructions:
1) Combine the chicken, onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, juice and 1 teaspoon pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Seal and shake to coat the chicken with the marinade. Refrigerate 1 hour or overnight.
2) Preheat a grill to medium high and oil the grate. Grill the chicken skin-side down until marked, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and continue to grill until cooked through, about 5 more minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
