GNO: update

It's been many months since I've updated the GNO blog. My apologies. Us ladies have accomplished quite a bit since March. We have donated items to the Jubilee Women's Center and cooked a dinner with Liz Havlin as our Project Leader. We collected food items for Northwest Harvest in May. Our cake making extravaganza was a hit with Free Cakes for Kids-South Sound where all of the decorated cakes went to the Camp to Belong Birthday Bash! In the summer we collected some back-to-school supplies for Youthcare and in October we collected items for Treehouse 4 Kids.

Our November activity was to make fleece hats for the Union Gospel Mission to distribute to the homeless in our community. We ended up making 162 hats and 34 scarves along with collecting gloves, jackets and warm clothes.

December is usually our Toys for Tots party, however we've had to take a break from this year's event since we are booked on a two week shoot. We are still collecting toys for the Marines, so our efforts are not being lost just because we aren't hosting a party. Here is a link to drop off locations in the Puget Sound area. http://fort-lewis-wa.toysfortots.org/local-coordinator-sites/lco-sites/donate-toys.asp. Or, if you are in the Georgetown neighborhood and want to drop off your donations here, then give us a call to arrange a time (206.763.9101). We'll complete our collection on 12/16/11 and arrange delivery for that Monday.

Thanks for all of your support and we wish you a great holiday season!
Best wishes,
Doreen
