Calling all “Wrappers”!

Friends of Thumbuddy Special

 

Next week we have 2 BIG EVENTS…”Our Train Ride with Santa” with West Suburban Special Recreation is on the Saturday the 14th. We are all set and ready to go. We are boycotting the “Polar Express” title, shame on those nuts in Hollywood for the naming rites….I didn’t even display the book this year, karma will work it’s magic on them!

 

Then on Sunday the 15th we have our HUGE Christmas Wrapping Party, in memory of a great Santa, Dick Perrault. 14 social workers from Berwyn South, Berwyn North, Cicero and Chicago come out with names of their Needy Families. We fill the need and Christmas Joy is spread to over 100 families.

WE NEED WRAPPERS……….shifts are from:

8:00am-10:00

10:00-12:00

12:00-2:00…..more help needed on the first and last shift.

 

The time flys by, we are a well oiled machine! Let me know if you are able to join us.

 

If you would like to donate toys, we are accepting donations until the 14th of December; Action Figures, Basketballs, Soccer balls, Barbies, dolls, etc all go quick. Somehow, through the Grace of God, it all goes…down to the last toy, it always works out!!! Drop off donations at my house. Shoot me an email if you are available to wrap.

 

Attached is our Newsletter, enjoy the 20th Year Anniversary of Thumbuddy Special.
