Have you done any good...?

The Prophet has asked us to help someone in need.
But can you do that even when you are on the computer?
With just 2 quick clicks you can do it EVERYDAY.


On the side bar find these 2 buttons.

Not to mention you've given Pres. Monson what he wanted for his birthday.

Dear Family and Friends,

I have been asked, once again, to serve as a committee member for the 2009 Festival of Trees. Every penny raised goes to help children at the Primary Children's Medical Center. Just a note-in 2007 there was over $6 million given in charity care. That amount rose to $13 million in 2008 and will be even higher this year. The need is great for charity care and what better way to help families under stress?

Once again I need to gather handmade items for the Gift Boutique. My committee members were in awe at the items that I turned in last year. Your response was amazing. I would appreciate it if any of you felt like you could donate a handmade item again this year. I am aware of how precious your time is and will certainly understand if you are unable to help out
.


Handmade Gift Ideas
Christmas Items - Nativity items, snowman kits, wall hangings, large wooden items, ornaments, tree skirts, neighbor gifts.

Craft Items - Handmade note cards, necklaces and bracelets, embroidered samplers, teacher and neighbor gifts, vinyl lettered tiles, and magnet boards.

Quilts - Quilts of all sizes, tied or quilted.

Toys - High quality child-safe items, picture/quiet books, I-spy pillows, boys items, dress-up clothes, push toys, blocks, stuffed animals and dolls, doll clothes, stick horses.

Kitchen - Tablecloths, runners, aprons, applique dishtowels, nylon scrubbers, crocheted dish cloths.

Baby and Children - Receiving blankets, burp cloths, chunky and fuzzy yarn hats and mittens, hooded bath towels, preemie items, baby headbands.

Afghans - Lap robes and afghans (white and off-white are always in demand).

These are examples of some of the more popular items from years past at the boutique. I need to gather all items by November 1st. I would appreciate anyone of you who would be willing to help me in this service project. As a committee we are encouraged to do our very best to put "The Child, First and Always" as we work together to create the 2009 Festival of Trees. With your help this will be possible. Please feel free to share this e-mail with anyone that you might know who might be able to help. Your service truly is a "Gift of Love."

Love, Jeri
