Annual Gift Wrapping Party: Dec 18th 2008

For the past several our Avesta Class has been volunteering to wrap gifts for
children of incarcerated parents who are often overlooked in the discussions 
of crime and justice. Through Project Christmas Angel, these special children
are assured that they have not been forgotten by their parent(s) and that they
are still a priority in their parents' lives. 

The goal of this program is to unite the good will of the community with the 
holiday dreams of the children. 

The organizers need: 
 

*  Donations of new unwrapped gifts (NO clothing) for children up to 
18 years of age; gifts for teens over 14 especially needed.  You can
bring the toys with you to the gift-wrapping party. 

*  Financial contributions to help cover the costs of delivery, postage, 
and supplies.  $2,000 are needed to cover the out-of-pocket expenses.

* Volunteers to attend the Wrapping Party on December 18, 2008 from 
6:30pm to 8:00pm at St. Andrews Episcopal Church located at 
4000 Lorcom Lane, Arlington, Virginia 22207.USA
Snacks are provided.  

* Volunteers to deliver the wrapped gifts to one or two families 
in your zip code.
