"Shipping/Wrapping Party" (updated)

Calling all troops...

At least the local ones that is!

We will be meeting on
Sunday November 15th from 2-4:30 p.m. at the
Fellowship Hall of Fairview Worship Center.

The address is 5545 Runway Drive NW Cleveland TN 37312. (Turn left off of North Lee Hwy as soon as you pass Galaxy Bowling. Make the first right and you will see the Church over to your left. The Fellowship Hall is the brick building)

We will be preparing all the gifts for shipping. We need the following supplies...please email me if you are bringing supplies so that I can be sure we don't have 100 rolls of ribbon and no tape :-)!

Ribbon
2 gallon zip lock bags
Christmas Name Tags
Christmas Cards

we also still need T-shirts, Underwear, and Socks for the Gimbie Care Packages.

Also I had someone find 6 polo shirts (mediums and smalls) for a good price at Tar*et. If you find any polo shirts that are a good price I would love to have 19 more so that we could send each child one. * The person who purchased the first 6 shirts said she would be glad to go get more if someone wanted to help out with the cost. $3 each so if you are interested in donating the additonal $50 bucks or so then shoot me an email! Maybe you know a business that would be willing to donate shirts to the cause. Please let me know if you can help out with this.

We have 12 Gimbie Children that still need sponsor's please pray about sponsoring one of these children for $25. Also we will have to ship the gifts to Washington and we will be having some expense to do that. If you would like to help on the shipping please donate using the button on the right side of the blog and put YWAM Shipping in the Notes section or just bring the money with you on Sunday.

IF YOU HAVE AGREED TO SPONSOR A YWAM CHILD PLEASE REMEMBER YOUR DUE DATE FOR ALL GIFTS AND CARDS IS NOVEMBER 13TH. I HAVE TO HAVE THESE ITEMS REPACKED AND SENT TO WASHINGTON ON THE 16TH SO THAT THEY CAN TRAVEL TO ETHIOPIA ON THE 21ST. THIS IS A TIGHT DEADLINE SO PLEASE BE SURE THAT YOU GET YOUR GIFTS TO ME ON TIME.

Thanks so much for all of your help. I know it makes God smile to see His children come together to help these precious kiddo's!!!
