DECEMBER OPPORTUNITY

All hands on deck for this one:)

Community Sharing Project
Serving Dorset, Danby, Pawlet, Rupert and Wells





November 14, 2009


Dear Julie and Heartworks Friends,

Thank you for volunteering to adopt a family through the Community Sharing Project. Your presents are truly gifts for these families in need. Attached I have listed the sizes and specific requests for each child. We ask that you do not wrap the gifts. We have been told that some parents picking up these items enjoy seeing them before Christmas morning, but if you want to include wrapping paper, that is entirely up to you (and not expected!)

I have also included a food list for you to shop with as you prepare the food basket. We will provide the potatoes and the turkey. Please put all food items in a plastic rectangle laundry basket (size 1.5 bushel.)

The number of toys you choose to purchase is entirely up to you. We try to give each child at least two and some years they receive more.


If you have any questions as you begin this joyous time of the giving, please feel free to call me at 867-2463. Again, thank you for participating in this wonderful project.


Details:
I have assigned "FAMILY # 37" to you and your team. Please label
all gifts with "FAMILY #37" when you deliver the gifts to the Dorset Church.
Please bring them all at the same time....probably sounds obvious, but with
so many of you volunteering in your group I just wanted to clarify that.

VERY IMPORTANT: HEARTWORKS helpers, drop all goods off at either Julie Rings House 67 Hemlock Ridge Road Manchester (covered porch if she's not there) or at Maple Street School. We will coordinate to bring our groups goodies together.

BEFORE PURCHASING: Please call 362-2367 or email Julie@byo.com to tell us what you would like to donate. To make sure that we aren’t overlapping each other, I will check off as emails/calls are received and will send you a confirmation asap that you can move forward with your donation. THANKS!!

Clothes drive -

thanks to all who helped with the sorting and setting up for the clothes drive
we had an amazing amount of hands helping and we really needed it!

it will all go to folks that need it! thanks for all the clothes contributions too...

Next week we may do a DUMP day at the Davis' house
and our next meeting is in December.

thanks again to all

11/8/09

A HUGE thanks to all that showed up! what an amazing gift that over 20 people showed up and we sorted / organized clothes in less than 2 hours... Strength in numbers and it was great to see everyone connecting, talking and kids playing! This Friday at 3:30 we will start setting up the tables with clothes for Saturday's event. Saturday am. we will be there at 8:30 to open up and make sure all is set. The good news is that a woman from northern VT who works for 211 is going to take all our leftovers because she says that there is a big need up north. It makes a difference every step of the way. If you transferred, sorted, helped or spread the word - You are amazing! I am again, honored, to be part of such an organization.

ps. we will be doing a Holiday basket for Thanksgiving , we have the turkey, generously donated by Missy Reece( Stratton) , and will collect a basket labelled
Heartworks at Maple Street.

December Meeting is December 13th at 3978 rte 30 Dorset, VT , 4:00-5:30 - - we will talk about December's opportunity, which may be the community sharing project.
and begin talking about January's First annual Kids Heartwork's talent show ( Fundraiser) which will be run by some teens. Get your kids thinking about their "ACT."


"Generosity brings happiness at every stage of its expression.
We experience joy in forming the intention to be generous.
We experience joy in the actual act of giving something. And we
experience joy in remembering the fact that we have given."

- The Buddha

spread the word!
