Christmas 2007
9th year
Join us this year for our Ninth Year. Jeff has been busy putting on Benefits, and knocking on doors. People have responded so well that each year the drive has grown to the point that in 2006 it took 2 loads (Thank You Conway/CCX) to gather all that was donated off to Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota home of the Sincangu Lakota.
Here is what a little town by the name of Mt. Pulaski, IL. is doing
ITEMS TO BEGIN JOURNEY TO ROSEBUD, SD On December 7th, items donated by our members here at St.John's will begin their journey to the Lakota Sioux Reservation at Rosebud, SD. Our items will be taken, via pickup truck, to one of our members, Karen Herndon, in West Milton, OH. A close friend of hers, Jeff Madewell, has made it his mission to help these native Americans with every day necessities and a few special things, such as extra food, clothing, and toys for their children Members of St. John's have willingly filled boxes of specific items to help in this endeavor. We are sending baby/body lotion, baby wipes, artificial sweetener, shaving items, oral hygiene supplies, baby supplies, antibacterial dish washing liquid, and wrapped bar soap. Included also in this truck load, heading east to go west, are several boxes of heavy winter clothing/coats, blankets, baby quilts, socks, and assorted underwear. All the items we send are greatly needed and appreciated. Jeff will be riding out with the semi truck to deliver these gifts, arriving before Christmas. Many thanks to all.
Drive will commence Saturday December the 8th 2007 Donations need to be in W. Milton before December 8th for the 2007 Rosebud Christmas Clothing/Toy Drive.
