Gifts & Things

As some of you may already know, Dave and I started dating in December of 2001. We built a house in 2003 and have many of the basic things that we need -- things that are traditionally purchased as gifts for the bride & groom. We have hmmd and hawed about having a gift registry as we feel that we don't need a lot more "stuff." We also didn't want friends and family members to feel obligated to buy us a gift. However, we understand that some people really do want to send gifts and so we've registered at a couple of places and also have a couple creative alternatives to the traditional wedding gifts.

The first are gift registries. If you wish to purchase a gift, we are registered at the following stores:

- The Home Depot (in-store only)
- Target (in-store or online)

The second option is a donation to charities we support. Please consider this as a viable option in lieu of a gift as we believe whole-heartedly in the below charities. You can send tax-deductible donations directly to these charities with our names (Dave & Amy Latka) on the memorandum line.
