Pop Tabs and Hotel-size Shampoos and Lotions Please continue to save your pop tops and hotel shampoo/lotions throughout the year. The pop tops go to help the Ronald McDonald House and the shampoos are given to the Youth Emergency Service, for the youth on the streets. These are two easy, ongoing projects that help two agencies we have worked with several times in the past. You can bring these items to any Giving Circle meeting or contact Cathy Pasko. |
GIVING CIRCLE UPCOMING EVENTS: August – AnySoldier.com The AnySoldier.com project has been very successful the past three years. Last fall, we sent 19 boxes to Nebraska soldiers stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Donations will be collected during August and sent to units with soldiers from Nebraska. Items on the wish lists generally include things like DVD movies, stocking caps, stress balls, lip balm, toothbrushes, beef jerky, candy canes, gum, cough drops, breath mints, sunflower seeds, tissues, pens and pencils, notebooks, tea bags, microwavable food, cookies, candy (no chocolate), hot chocolate mix, tea bags, powdered drink mixes like Gatorade or Crystal Light, etc. We’ll also collect used cell phones, with the proceeds from the phones going to purchase prepaid calling cards for American troops. Donations of cash to pay for shipping the boxes also are needed. September - Bingo at Immanuel Courtyard September 27th is the date for a fun afternoon of bingo for residents of Immanuel Courtyard located at 6757 Newport Avenue, from 1 to 3 p.m. This facility provides senior housing and services designed for individuals on a fixed income. The community is age and income restricted and all residents need to financially qualify based on government program guidelines. NNL will be hosting the bingo festivities and providing dessert afterwards. We need volunteers to help with the activity, make desserts or provide bingo prizes in the $5 - $8 range. The residents like to decorate their apartment doors with seasonal themes, so banners and posters are welcome, as well as any item appropriate for a senior resident. Joan Vinke is chairing this charitable function. Please call her at 779-0493 to volunteer your services. |
