Good Morning Greetings!   

Wow, we have been given the Adopt a Family details early this year which is great because you can start shopping a bit early and be ready for the December IA lunch social.  

This year Women's Outreach has included a minimum gift card of $50 for mom instead of specific items.  She has indicated a preference for Bower Mall for this.

We will also be providing gift cards for groceries for Superstore.

No food allergies or dietary restrictions have been indicated.

So in addition to the mom for our family we have 3 little girls age 3, 7 and 9.

For our 3 year old EMMA, the wish list and ideas include:  books, dolls, Barbie's and coloring stuff.  The favorite character is listed as 'princess' so I' m sure there is lots of stuff to choose from.  She is in a size 4 for clothes, a 10 shoe size, is right handed and is in a twin bed.

Our 7 year old MYA, the wish list includes: MP3 players, books, roller blades, painting and drawing items.  She appears to be very interested in Justin Bieber at this stage.  She is in a size 8 for clothes, a 2 ½  shoe size, is right handed and is in a twin bed.

Our 9 year old R'LYNNE, the wish list includes: MP3 players, books, roller blades, and sewing items.  She appears to be very interested in Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber at this stage.  She is in a size 10 for clothes, a 3  shoe size, is right handed and is in a twin bed.

Last year we were able to do up stockings for everyone, so if you have smaller items that can be used for those please bring them along.  Audrey will be on the lookout for some inexpensive stockings to put it all into.

If you are going to bring a wrapped item please make sure that you have a 'sticky note' on it with a description of the item that is inside and who  it is from (will be removed before going to the family).  This allows us to know what items still need to be purchased and what we already have.  Last year we ended up with a couple items that were unwrapped because we did not know what was in them, when a note and a name to clarify what the item was would have been easier.

Just a reminder that all the silent auction proceeds from the December lunch will also be used for the Adopt a Family, so feel free to bring something to auction off in addition to, or instead of your gift items for the young girls.

There is something to work on that is about doing for others , and so it definitely feels like the Christmas season has now started.

Happy shopping and I hope to see you all for the December lunch (don't forget the space is limited so you need to RSVP)!
