On Tuesday, November 27, 2007, in lieu of a regular Board meeting, we (April, Barby, Erin, Jennie, Kathy, Miranda, Natalie, Paula, Stacey, Stephanie, and Xenia) met at the Fairmont WalMart and selected 5 children (all boys) from the Angel Tree. We paired up and made some great selections for our "kids."
Each child received a coat, hat and gloves, a pair of shoes, socks, undies, at least 2 outfits, a pair of pajamas, a book, and some toys.
It was fun to not only spend time with each other - but at least in the case for some of us, learn about the complexities of sizing of socks and shoes for toddlers and kids. (Thanks, Nan & Barby for making sense of this, "Get the Hanes with the green writing." Those directions I could follow!)
It was so good to know that because of the Junior League, 5 young boys (and their mothers) will have a merrier Christmas! (I know we would love to see the look on the little 5-year-old's face that will get a new bike (and helmet!) on Christmas morning!
REMINDER: Next week is the Christmas party. 6:30 PM at Nan's house. Covered dish. $10 gift exchange. See you soon! Bring your raffle tickets with you!
