Dear Ladies,
WSH would like to continue its tradition of giving gift donations to long-term care facility residents for Christmas.  Below is a list of suggested items for donation:

Word Search books – large print
Adult coloring books and coloring pencils
Sugar-free cookies and candies
2023 calendars
Scarves for ladies
Baseball caps for men
Socks for men and women; also, socks with grippers
Jewelry – necklaces and bracelets that you can put on without using a clasp
Kleenex                                   Chapstick or lipstick             Nail polish                             
Hand and body lotions        Soap                                       Shampoo
Small Christmas tabletop decoration                                Large emery boards

Please bring the donations to the October 13 meeting.  Volunteers will separate items and try to tailor bags according to the needs/interests of residents.  It is easier to do this if the donations aren’t gift-wrapped, but if possible, please include a medium-sized gift Christmas gift bag.  If you aren’t able to attend the meeting, you can drop off your bag at Jeanne Ryan’s office in the parish offices.  Also, if it is easier for you or if you would prefer, you can donate several of one or a couple of items rather than a variety of gifts.  Please donate any 2023 calendars that you don’t want.  Lastly, if you aren’t able to shop, you can make a donation and a volunteer will happily shop for you.  Thanks!  Your generosity is greatly appreciated.
Questions!  E-mail Carol Meyer at camdotcom1@aol.com or call at 910-235-3962.
