OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD

We will be filling shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child during our October meetings. Stephanie Seymore, The Operation Christmas Child Regional Area Coordinator, Lower Eastern NC & Goldsboro will be our guest speaker on at our dinner meeting on the 10th. She will tell us all about Operation Christmas Child and about the "Shoe Box Project". We are so blessed, that we can share our bounty with those less fortunate, so please bring to the meeting the supplies you wish to donate to make some very needy children happy. For our October 24th lunch meeting, our own Cammie Armstrong will talk to us about the “Shoe Box Project” with which she is involved. Again, we can spare a few pens, soaps or toys to share with the children who have very little in their life to make them smile.

Please bring any or all of the below items to either of our October meetings to help a child have a beautiful Christmas -
