December Enrichment

Dear Sisters,

Our Christmas Enrichment night will be Thursday December 3 at 6:30 pm

For our Christmas Enrichment night we will be having dinner, a short program, and a service opportunity.  We will have guests from the NCJW with us to help with the service activity and give a short presentation.  Christmas is a time of giving and what better way to give and show Christs love than to serve those in need.  We will be making sanitary kits for the NCJW (National Council of Jewish Women) in response to our visit with them at our previous enrichment night a few months ago.

We are needing each sister to sign up to bring specific items to put in the bags.  Please sign up for what you are able to bring.  The pads and liners must come individually wrapped and must be name brand.

We need: 800 Panty Liners (120 per box at Walmart; 160 per box at Sams Club; ); 1500 Always Maxi pads (66 per box at Walmart; 96 per box at Sams Club; ); You are more than welcome to get them any where.  I wasn't able to look on BJs website as it was down when I made this email.  But the NCJW stated that is where they have bought their supplies in the past for a good price.

***We need the items collected by Sunday November 29 at the latest.  You can give them to anyone in the RS Presidency.  This will let us know how many kits we will be able to make.  We would really like to be able to make 100 kits for these women that are in need.  The kits will be donated to Hope Ministry in Webster.  Gina from the NCJW stated that they are in real need of these right now. ***

We will have sign up sheets circling around on Sunday.  But feel free to email Amber Stevens at itspuppyluv09@gmail.com and I can add your name to the sign up sheets.  We need 7 boxes of liners and 23 boxes of Maxi pads to meet our goal of 100 kits.  The NCJW has generously offered to supply us with all the other materials needed.

Thank you so much for your generosity and service!

PS We will also be having a cookie exchange.  We will also be sending around a sign up sheet for those who wish to participate and bring cookies (baked or bought).  

PSS Lastly, we would like to get a count for how many will be attending so we can plan on how much food to prepare.  A sign up sheet will be passed around for this as well.  We don't need names just numbers.
