Last year, our group assembled beautiful holiday gift boxes for the Women's Shelter of Winston-Salem. The items were truly appreciated, and our contact noted that these women seldom get gifts created especially for them. For those of you who are interested in participating, we will again be collecting items at the November General Meeting. We will meet in early December to assemble the packages.
The following items are suggested: umbrellas, ponchos, gloves or mittens, scarves, knit hats, pocket calendars or agendas, journals, phone or gift cards and underwear. PLEASE, NO TOILETRIES, as the shelter has stated they have more than enough. Also, if you have winter sweaters or clothes suitable for women or teenage girls that you are discarding, the shelter has a need for these items. (Clothing will NOT be placed in the gift boxes, but we will make sure that the shelter receives them.) If you are unable to attend the November meeting, please contact Terry H to make other arrangements: 416-2313.
If you prefer to make a monetary contribution for us to purchase items, please make
checks payable to Newcomers & Neighbors of W-S, with Women's Shelter noted in
the memo. As always, thanks to a most giving and generous group of women!!
