Bright Christmas Family Adoption
Our Club will be adopting a family from Bright Christmas again this year.
We will be adopting a large family
those are the hardest for Bright Christmas to cover
We don't have our assignment yet, but are starting to collection member donations now.
anyone wanting to participate, here's what you need to know:
We are trying to fund this from member donations rather than Projects funds, if possible.
Bright Christmas operates year-round
provides school supplies each new school year
as well as holiday presents to families in need at Christmas time.
If you contribute to Bright Christmas directly (or through our Club matching grants)
those contributions cannot be used for our adopted family
they go directly to Bright Christmas for their work overall.
To participate in our Club's adopted family holiday project
please make checks payable to Rotary Club of Estes Park
give those (or cash in any amount) to Gregg Jurgens.
The collection starts today and will continue through November 30, 2023.
Our adopted family will be assigned in late October or early November.
As soon as we have the list of family members and what they need, Beth will let everyone know. Once we have that information, anyone wanting to participate can
donate items from the list
gift cards (Visa, Walmart, etc.)
cash/checks.
We will have a wrapping party for anyone who wants to help wrap all the presents, sometime in the first week of December.
Please ask Beth any questions you may have: her email is weisberg.family@verizon.net. Thank you!
