Toys For Tots 12/9/08

Hey Ladies of the GNO.

It's about time we start shakin' it up a bit and get ready for the holidays. The next gathering will be at the studio. This time bring your boyfriend, husband, lover, pool boy, significant other... hell, bring all five and the kids that go with them! The more the merrier.

Admission to this year-end extravaganza is easy! Bring at least one new, unwrapped toy for our Sharity of the Month: Toys For Tots http://www.toys4tots.org/index.html . That's right. We're givin' to the children and they are gonna love these toys.

Here is the skinny... it's 'pot-luck' style so if you would like to share a dish, bring it on in. If you aren't too keen on cooking up something, than bring some wine. If that doesn't suit you, then bring some food goods for Northwest Harvest http://www.northwestharvest.org/. If none of that floats your fancy, then just show up with an extra toy. It's all about the giving, because when you give you get (karma, warm fuzzies, smiles, thanks, points, miles, one step closer to heaven, etc.).

Let the festivities begin! The Wii, foosball, ping-pong and pool tables will be ready for the male dominated competitions that usually unfold when drinks are consumed. While they are preoccupied amongst themselves, we'll be enjoying the company of three of the Marines finest representatives! There is something for everybody, so bring a bunch of toys for the tots, and your favorite peeps along to enjoy the evening with friends.

One more thing... our Homeless Helper was another success! We donated five huge bags and two large boxes full of coats, sweaters, gloves, hats, socks, blankets, and fleeces. The Union Gospel Mission picked everything up on 11/18 and were grateful for the contributions! Good job ladies. We did it again!

Looking forward to it!
Doreen

Homeless Helper is next Tuesday!

Hi Girls,
11/11/08, Tuesday night at the studio is Homeless Helper night. Come by after work, enjoy some beverages, chit-chat and bring warm clothing items for the Union Gospel Mission. If you know of other needful charities, we'll include them too. We usually have enough stuff to spread around to several organizations.

It sounds like this will be a pretty good turnout! We have Roger's on tap from Georgetown Brewing and I'll have easy-to-prepare snacks. You know my talents in the kitchen are lacking. But don't be shy if you want to share a snack or some wine.

See you next Tuesday!
Same place, same time, bring a friend and a bottle of wine!
