The children of our adopted families are 3 year old B/B twins and 1 year old B/G twins.
I have decided to go with the Memorial Day Cookout theme this month. It was such a big hit with our families from last year! I know our current adopted families will love it too. So, let's make their Memorial Day memorable by showing our genuine care and concern for them.
I will provide the families with hotdogs and rolls, but I need your help with the "fun" stuff to make their cookout great. Here is a list of things they will need for their cookout: (I have broken the items down into categories based on the 1st letter of your last name, so that I don't get 30 bottles of mustard.) :
Q -Z: Misc. - Patriotic stickers
Bubbles/Sidewalk chalk
Kites or Balls
Any outdoors type of game
Get busy saving those soda/can pop-tops!! Have your family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, church, daycare providers and anyone else you can think of to start saving them for you as well. I am beginning an "Operation Pop-Top" contest to benefit The Ronald McDonald House.
Have you started saving those pop-tops yet? If not, it is time to get started! We are beginning a program called "Operation Pop-Top" (O.P.T.) to benefit the Ronald McDonald House. The Ronald McDonald House takes all the tabs collected from people/groups that participate and recycle them. The money they raise helps pay for the every day costs of running the facility.
Here is how the program will work for the year:
1. Bring your pop-tops to the meetings each month in a Ziploc type bag.
2. Write your name on the bag. (I will have Sharpies at the meetings.)
3. The pop-tops will be weighed and recorded for 3 months. At the end of each 3 month period, each participant's pop-top weights will be added together for their own total.
4. The person with the highest pop-top weight wins a prize!!
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS BRING IN YOUR POP-TOPS! HOW EASY!!
Thanks again for all that you do for Helping Hands!
