Hello All, Wow this year is going
fast! It is that time of year when I am looking for ‘yard sale’ type
items for our beautiful children of Bath to purchase as Christmas gifts for
their families. I am looking for things that would make
appropriate gifts for Moms, Dads, and Siblings. There are over 500
children in grades K-5! THAT MEANS WE NEED OVER 1000
ITEMS! Each child is able to purchase a gift for members of
their immediate family at a cost of 25 cents per item. If they do
not have the funds to purchase gifts, we supply them with as many quarters as
they need. Once they have completed all of their holiday shopping we
have elves that wrap and tag all of their gifts. IT IS AMAZING! They
take the items home and they are ready to be placed under the tree.
I don’t know how it happens, but year after year
I am able to come up with several bags filled with items...WHERE DOES THIS STUFF
COME FROM! Do you have items that have been sitting in a drawer or stacked
in a closet that you would like to donate? There are several ways to get
things to the fair. The BEST WAY is to deliver them to Dike Newell School
off of High Street. There will be a LARGE box labeled “Holiday Fair” and
donations may be placed in there. If you are closer to Grace Church....you
may drop items there as well, just mark them with my name. Delyse at
Fisher Mitchel will have a box outside her office for donations and you can also
call me 443-5052 and I can pick them up.
PLEASE...SPREAD THE WORD!
To see the look on a child's face when they are able to give their parents a
gift THEY CHOSE IS PRICELESS. I have done this for the past 6 years and I
still have every gift Alex or Hannah have ever given me from the
fair.
