KAREN’S CORNER
Thank you to all for your monthly donations to the different needs of the Homeless Teens through our Visions and Pathways program. Your help is greatly appreciated and well-used. The summer is off for your vacations and backpack collections; President Carol will start soon. The Visions and Pathways collection for September will be the items teens need for school. Still, they need a few different items, so some ideas are printer copy paper, highlighters, binders, dividers, tape, pens, pencils, and scissors. So, if you see these things on sale while shopping for the backpacks, you can get a head start for Visions for September.
We will still collect the baby purple hats until August 1 for the Shaker Baby program. Thank you for the big bag I have already and will take as many as I get to DCON. Pam is all ready to receive them there. Even though Julie cannot make our meetings very often, she has her Mom’s knitting/crocheting group making them for the babies. You guys are the best.
Our Foundation Mega Wine Basket is all set for the Basket Bonanza at DCON. Thanks to all your donations in February, I did not have to bother you again. They say our basket is a big ticket collector. Yeah!
I hope you all know you are a great club and doing much good.
Thanks again,
Karen
