Christmas Sharing Programme

This is a note that I received from an Avalon parent today - it makes me realize the effect that our actions have on others.


I just wanted you to know I think this is such a great program. It makes
me both happy and proud to support it as my own family benefited from a
similar program when I was growing up. I remember how much it meant to
us all to open that special box together and get excited about what lay
inside. We'd hug or even cry at the generosity of perfect strangers and
give thanks that kindness and love exists in the world. Quite honestly,
we would not have had a Christmas if not for such a program.

I'd like to volunteer on either the 1st or 2nd to help pack up the
boxes, please let me know which day you could use the most help and I
will be there.

Since I'm not at the school often is it possible for you to send me a
copy of the donation requirements so that I can sign up? I would also
like to extend the opportunity to a few of my friends here at my work
that I know have items they'd like to donate.

Thanks again for all you do to help kids and families in the community,
you are a gem!
