...........Please bring a shoe box for Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child.
.......... The brochure lists all the items that can be placed in the shoe box or a plastic container with a lid ( I got one at walmart for $1). Lid and box have to be wrapped separately as they have to go through the items before they are delivered to the child. You may include a picture and or a card of you or your family with a note. Please place a rubber band around the box once you have filled it. Also please put a sticky note or something to let me know what gender and age group you chose. Due to the economy, you may team up with other class members to make a shoe box. We don't want to make anyone uncomfortable. If you don't really know anyone in class and would like to contribute something please feel free to email me or any other officer. However, we would like to make as many shoe boxes as possible. If you would like to make more than one box that is welcome too! You may turn these boxes in next class which is November 13th or at the party which is November 20th. If you have any questions please feel free to email me or any other officer or call us! Stephanie Eakman
