Holiday Shop!

Well, we finished another year of the Holiday Shop for the kids at Gardnerville!  Again it was a very positive experience for the kids!  We watched them shop and calculate, and wrap the presents that they carefully picked out for their loved ones.   I want to send a heartfelt thanks to all the parents who helped make this event so positive for the kids.

Thank you to Susan Penevolpe, Loren Davidson, Susan Hornung, Geeta, Nick, Svetlana, Irina, Tanya, Cyntia, Lesley Gonzales, and Ms House! I hope I included everyone...I'm still recovering. I was so happy to see so many new parents this year!  The kids and I really appreciated it!

I also want to give a heartfelt Thanks to VALMATTI  for their generous donation of hats and accessories  and to JACARANDA for their delicious Hot Apple Cider and Pastries!

All together with the accessories, hats, tee shirts, pastries, cider and the holiday shop we raised close to $1500.00  We are a little bit closer to our goal of $25,000.00.  We will have the exact amount in the treasurers report at our January meeting - Keep an eye out for the meeting time and place!

Thank you!  Thank you! Thank you!

I hope you all have a Happy Holiday and a very Jolly New Year!

Cheers,
Lesley Holmes FoG Chairwoman
