Dates to keep in mind…

Nov. 22 & 29:  cards available with a request for something each child needs and something they want.  Please pick up a card (or two!) in the Lounge.

 

Dec 13:  Gift ingathering.  Please return all gifts (unwrapped), as we will have a special blessing for the children who will enjoy them.

 

Dec 21:  Food shopping, sorting, and delivery.  

 

There will be a sign-up sheet on the bulletin board for those able to help on Dec. 21.  If you have any questions, contact Carol Nancarrow.  Wear your comfy shopping shoes & get ready to shop at Meijer for our families.  Then head back & help sort everything we bought.  If you can stay a bit longer & help deliver all these goodies, please let Carol know.  We can use lots of vehicles!
