Long time, no see...I know. I've been a bit blog-lazy during the pandemic, but that's going to change in the New Year. Promises, promises...
TWC does have some important upcoming dates I'd like to share with you along with some absolutely gorgeous holiday cards celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah and that general holiday card. Wendy, Judith and Karen are working hard on creating some beautiful cards.
Because of this wretched Pandemic, we have decided not to sell cards at the Bin this year, but we will be taking orders and will have them bundled and ready for pick up and if you're unable to collect them, we are happy to deliver. For those who want All Occasion cards, I am going to put those images on another blog post, but they will be available for sale individually or in boxed sets of 10...same price as the holiday cards.
HOLIDAY CARDS: Place your orders by this Saturday, December 12
Cards are available individually for $5 or in sets of 10 for $25. So if you buy 10 they're half price. Please note that it's fine to specify an individual card for purpose but if you buy a boxed set, they will be miscellaneous, but all nice. Send your orders to Teresa or me and pay online through our website or send a check to CP. Here are some examples of our gorgeous cards.
Plus we have some terrific Hanukkah cards.
VENICE COMMUNITY HOUSING TRANSITIONAL LIVING CENTER FOR MOMS & KIDS (TLC), GIFT DROP OFF on SATURDAY, December 19.
Jill Palethorpe is working hard at creating the interactive gift list for the kids at the TLC. Because tenants had to be moved into motels for some work that was done at 650 Westminster, everything has been delayed and Lucia only just got the list to us. Since most of us won't be going into the shops, there's still plenty of time to order online. We're running late this year!

And because we won't be able to gather at our annual wrapping party this year, all gifts for the children at the TLC should be dropped off at Teresa's house where we'll have two tables set up. Gifts should be wrapped and clearly labeled as to which child they're for and gift receipts left inside (especially important where shoes and clothing are involved).
BESSIE PREGERSON (BP) CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER IN VENICE
There are 42 children at Bessie Pregerson, 23 girls and 19 boys). Nancy contacted the Linus Project a while back and brought over beautiful, soft and cuddly blankets, one for each child, that the LP has generously given us. We are getting the big white bags this week, and a blanket will go in each bag, plus crayons/coloring book and a small game. Rya Hollander who is not a volunteer but a young mom in Calabasas, donated some high end formula (Terry took this over to BP today for the infant siblings of kids who attend the school) and when dropping it off she called me and said as she was driving home she just kept thinking 'what else can I do to help the kids. I told her I was getting ready to buy colouring books and crayons for each child and she said that she would like to do that and so she's meeting me at the bin on Wednesday with those items, plus one other little game. Also, each child will get a Beanie Baby (Terry Welles brought over LOADS of these that are like brand new, and then another volunteer (can't remember who darn it but I know I'll remember after I send this out) brought brought bagged sets of Matchbox cars in like new condition...enough for each boy to have a bag in his Christmas sack.
