Adopt
a Family – Update
Well
it almost that time again – no, not for Santa’s visit.
It’s time to deliver the
bags of gifts, the perishable and
non-perishable food to the five families and
thirteen children we have accepted for our support this year.
The
gifts and family items have been purchased, wrapped and bagged. The
non-perishable food has been purchased and the totes used to transport this food
are loaded and ready to go.
The
only items not obtained are the perishable food items which will be bought on
Friday the 19th of December.
Delivery
is scheduled starting at 8am at John and Mary’s lot 5. A group of Sandpipers
have volunteered to provide the transport. Anyone who would like to join this
parade is welcome. If you don’t have a vehicle we will find you a seat with
someone. We will leave SPR at about 8:30 am and expect to complete deliveries by
10:30. We could not complete our deliveries without the unselfish help of these
hardy souls.
Our
budget for 2014 is just about exhausted. We have noticed that costs this year
for all of the items purchased are between 10 and 12 percent higher over
2013.
Please
mark your calendars – our funding for the
2015 Adopt-a-Family program will be
held on Saturday January 31st 2015 at the pavilion. We are seeking
donations from the heart. Dinners, pies, knitted and crochet items and anything
handmade and from the heart will be auctioned for this very worthwhile cause.
Please let John or Mary know of the items you wish to donate. We would like to
have all donations in by January 25th so we may put together a
brochure.
The
auctioneers are warming up. It will be a fun time for all. Most important the
funds raised will assist us in making sure some very worthy children will have a
better and memorable 2015 Christmas.
Mary
& John (Lot 5)
