It's becoming that time again (holiday season) and I'm sure you've all noticed the decorations going up (waaay too early) in the stores. Well, lets grab a hold of that "festive" spirit, and give back to others. Especially as the club's mission is also to reach out to the community. Now, we may be fudging the "community" part, but I'm going to ignore that. Anyways, we are proposing to do a service project of sorts. Introducing: Operation Christmas Child. Essentially you fill up shoe boxes, typically wrapped like a present. Each shoe box has a determined gender and age based roughly on what we decide to put into it. On Wednesday November 18th, we will have a filling party at the IMC. Bring gifts to fill the shoe boxes, a shoe box, and/or an optional $7 donation (to help with shipping costs). We will then take them to the drop off location, due on November 22 at Peace Campus Center. Or if you can't make the "party" let me know, and I'll direct you how to drop it off yourself. All donated items must be new, non-perishable, and not war-related. They should be geared at kids ages 2 - 14.
