Socials : August 21, September 18, October 30, November 20, December 11, January 29, February 26, March 25, April 22, May 13
This year we have a social comitee to assist in making the most of our time together. Instead of collecting money a little each month, you have an option of paying one time ($30) or two payments ($15 each due on 9/4/07 and 1/8/08). Having this paid in advance allows this commitee to better plan the themes, activities, food, and any prizes they include and keep the budget balanced. These socials are for the members and we would love their ideas and suggestions. On November 20 will be an Operation Christmas Child Social to support the ministry to third world and war-torn countries.
Throughout the year, do you shop for bargains to include in your Operation Christmas Child gift boxes? If so, you’ve probably accumulated a motley assortment of goods. Do you have a lot of combs but no t-shirts? Or toothbrushes but no toothpaste? Let’s pool all our bargain items, organize the items by ages, and see how many complete boxes we can make.
Bring as many empty shoeboxes as you want to donate (You don’t have to bring any shoeboxes if you don’t want to, but if you do, please remember it’s $5 per box for shipping.) Then bring your items you’ve accumulated to donate to this ministry: toiletry items (no glass containers or liquids), small toys, T-shirts, underwear, hard candy (no tootsie rolls), pens, pencils, pencil sharpeners, writing tablets, small books, etc. When we’re done, you can either leave the completed shoeboxes at St. Stephen or take them to your church/service organization to donate.
