Thank you! A thank you to so many that participated in our
holiday giving opportunities. We gave a total of 83 gifts to YCS
(Youth Consultation Service), Morris View, and Spring Hills.
Thank you to Gale Jackson for heading up this Outreach effort
and to Yvette White for her publicity, posters and more!
Although all tags were taken off the tree, 12 gifts were not
returned. So some last minute shopping ensured and the
“missing” gifts were graciously donated by Gale Jackson and Ed
Butera, and Isabel and Jerry Creighton. Thanks to Ellen Merwin
for her work on securing our 300 plus bottles of shampoo for
the inmates at the Morris County Jail. This is a joint effort with
all of the churches in town and it’s great that we participate.
