At 6 PM, all donations will be taken into the library for inventory. Tammy Alexander’s husband is a Boy Scout leader who will get us big tents, so we will need help setting them up at 7 AM that day. Carol will gather boxes and attach labels to make sorting easier.
She will take care of getting publicity out on the city signs and in the Post. Volunteers are needed to man the project and we sent around a sign up sheet. Carol will contact City Councilmembers and the PTO for more help. Bottled water will be provided. If anyone questions, Carol can be reached at 744-0766.
Christmas baskets - following up on conversation of July meeting. Baskets in past went to families that the Park City Police Department and the Chisholm Trail Elementary School social worker submitted. Jan said perhaps we need to form a committee to plan it if it’s something we want to continue. Kris suggested that we coordinate with His Helping Hands. Dee wants to keep it going. There was discussion and most wanted to keep doing the baskets. Marion Crouse has been faithful in gathering money in jars and we can still contact the scouts and put food donation boxes out in businesses. Dee, Kathy, Bonnie, Donna, Carol, Kris, Sterling volunteered to form the committee.
Dee said that Blacktop Nationals had not given info on what kind of breakfast and how many might attend, so cancelled our participation.
Also, she has a meeting Monday with Patrick Todd about Fun Run next summer.
