Our annual Christmas bag project for Parkland was a huge success!
Thanks to the generosity of our volunteers in purchasing sleepers and
socks and working diligently to make Christmas bags, blankets, hats,
booties, stuffed animals, Christmas ornaments, bibs and burp cloths, we
were able to complete 363 bags AND leave extra clothing sets and hats as
well.The Parkland auxiliary contributed books, educational toys and picture frames to include in the sacks making for a very substantial gift for the newborns that were born over the week before Christmas!
If we try to thank everyone who played a role in this project, we would run out of space here, but we did want to say thank you to Lassie Smith who stored, organized and counted the clothing for the bags in her home all year, Marge Vissers who sewed all the Christmas bags, Debbie Carver who made all the Christmas ornaments, and the Knit Wits at Coppell Senior Center who made the majority of the bibs and burp cloths under Paula Feldman's leadership.
