Planning now underway to raise money for Christmas for Kids 2008!

Our next planning meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 4th at 5:00pm at the Partnership office. Please call us if you are interested in attending!

Our goal this year is to raise $20,000. You can help us achieve this goal by donating items to be auctioned off at the annual Christmas for Kids fundraising auction which will be held on November 22nd at Potosi Elementary School at 6:30pm. And come join us and bid on items at the auction too!

Donations are being accepted now for auction items, money for gift cards for shopping night, and toys.

Individuals, businesses, groups and churches may also choose to "adopt" a family this year. Just call Kelly at the Partnership office for more information.

Rachel Politte has also crafted a beautiful queen-sized quilt this year (machine quilting done by Quilter's Corner). Stop by to purchase raffle tickets to win the quilt at our office. We will also be selling raffle tickets on November 15th at Walmart and at the Elementary School on Auction night. The winner will be announced that night.

We really need everyone's help this year. Due to the economic situation, we anticipate even more families asking for help, including those who have never asked for help before.

Help us reach our goal so that no child is left without a present on Christmas. Any and Every donation counts!

Thank you!!!
Kelly Sexton/Washington County Community Partnership
