Christmas Stockings |
 Each year one of our members sews
for us between 30 and
35 large felt Christmas Stockings. Another member
hosts a decorating party with all the fabric, rick
rack, dingle balls, paints etc. and we have a great
evening with a potluck dinner and then we listen to
Elvis singing Christmas songs and decorate the
stockings. At the end of out
business meeting in December we fill the stocking with toys,
games, and |
|
| Christmas goodies, for the "adult" recipients bought by
a committee and then they're forwarded to our adopted family
at the YWCA Family Village; our single mothers at Harrington
House temporary shelter for newly delivered homeless
mothers; and the remaining 20-24 stocking are sent to
Fairfax Hospital, a juvenile lock-down facility for
youngsters with behavioral disorders. |
