Annual Holiday Project Giving & Distribution Day!

Important details on Phoenix West Holiday Project

GIFTS:

A reminder that those who have adopted children that you should bring your wrapped gifts properly tagged and organized at noon on Thursday, December 19 to the Longview School Auditorium—William E. Wells Auditorium located at the corner of 12^th Street and Indian School.  Drive into the parking lot on the north west side of 12^th Street closest to the corner of Indian School.  Food boxes will be available for pick-up there.

DRIVERS:

We are in need of drivers with large vans, cars or trucks to help with delivery.  Please let Wilma know if you will be delivering gifts.  We are attempting to coordinate drop-off locations for families to make it more convenient for drivers.  Plus, you will be in the district and closer to drop-off points.

PREPARING FOOD BOXES:

Because we have a record number of families this year—31—we will be assembling food boxes on Thursday morning, December 19 beginning at 9AM.  Please let Wilma or Sandy know if you can assist.  (Note for those of you at the last meeting, we had intended to do this on Saturday, Dec. 14 at Montecito School, but that site simply has no empty space available close to a parking lot for pick-up.)   John Bauermeister has graciously agreed to provide a truck/boxes/tape.

MORE GOOD NEWS:

Susan has miraculously secured donations of 31 turkeys for this event!  So, children will receive gifts of clothing and a toy and families a food box to feed them for two weeks thanks to Sandy’s efforts and bargain shopping AND now with Susan’s help a holiday turkey!

Please let Wilma know if you have any questions at: wbasnett@cox.net

Thanks for all your help.
