2014 Holiday Baskets - It's That Time Again!
2014 Rotary Holiday Basket Donation Items and Dates
(Please read as there are a few changes this year.)
It’s that time of year again for our annual holiday basket donation and distribution! Shoppers will find their list of items below. If you would rather let someone else do the shopping, then provide cash or check (made out to Rotary) for $125 over the next few weeks and give to Anita Perkins or John Slama. If you choose to shop, bring all your food items the day-of basket assembly and distribution – Saturday, December 13th (less hassle with handling and storage). Please notify Anita or John in advance if you will be bringing your food on the 13th as we will be counting on it to make all the baskets!
We will need drivers with a van or truck to help pick up food from Aldi’s in Crystal about 9:00am on December 13th. We will put boxes together about 11am at the New Hope community room on the 13th, and a light lunch will be served. We will be delivering about 75 boxes that day after assembly so get your teams together for deliveries. We’re also looking for help with making-up delivery routes so please lend a hand if you can. Contact Anita Perkins or John Slama with any questions, and thank you in advance for your support!
