June 10 Set-Up

Friday's set-up for a mom and her three teenaged sons went really quickly thanks to the help of Dana Briskman and her two children, Cass and Caleb (along with one of Caleb's friends, Gabe).  Karen and I really appreciated the kids' hard work and hope the new family settles in more easily thanks to the efforts and donations of TWC.  Thanks to all of you who brought in donations for this set-up and also thanks to Mary Morley for helping Karen pull items from the shelves the day before. I'll be sending out a notice in a day or two regarding our next meeting which I hope most of you can attend.

Here are some photos from Friday's set-up to give you an idea of how things looked.

Caleb and Gabe helping us load up.

Dana and Cass putting some finishing touches in the kitchen.  Young Cass said she

loves decorating and will be helping us some more this summer I hope!

The table looks welcoming with loads of fresh fruit and a nice runner

The older twin teen brothers' bedroom

The mom's bedroom.  Dana brought sprigs of fresh lavender.

Such a nice touch on the bed which looked so very comfortable.

The mom's bathroom.  Her bedroom and bathroom were upstairs with the boys

two bedrooms and bath downstairs.  It's a nice sized apartment and I'm sure they will love it.

Karen and I always write a welcome note to the incoming family, a terrific

idea that TWC member, Susan Lovell introduced a few months back
