Preparing for the Holiday Season

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

We’re starting to think “Holiday Card Project”!!! For all the newcomers, this is our biggest project of the year! We will be collecting cards for our Features to lift their spirits during the upcoming Holiday Season. We are only in preparation stages. This project will not be officially announced until mid to late October and we will collect cards thru early December.

With school getting underway once again, that means the Scout troops will start forming. Last year, I sent letters all over the state of Pa. requesting troops participate. Input from those troops was that they would need more time to work this into their activity planning schedules. Most of us aren’t thinking “holiday mode” any sooner than we have to!! lol However, in hopes of receiving more group participation, we’re mailing our information now asking for their help. If you are a Scout leader, Sunday School teacher, Senior Center advisor, teacher, etc….or know of anyone who is, I would love to send them a brochure and information letter.

We also are looking for anyone who might have connections to a UPS Store or box company. Last year, we had soooo many cards, we had to purchase boxes to ship the cards and goodies to our Features! Wahooooo! We’re hoping we need tons more this year :) I did send letters to 13 of my local UPS Stores asking for box donations but we haven’t had any return phone calls. Perhaps someone here has a connection?
Look for more details on the Holiday Card Project coming soon!

Kath, Cindy, Gigi, Connie and Tricia
