Hello Lady Ranger Families.
It has been a tradition for Scott for his last 10 years of coaching to get his team involved in a charitable event. The team will be getting involved in the Adopt a Family event that is run through Family and Childrens Services.
For those of you who are not familiar with this, we are given a family to provide Christmas for. Typically they ask that you spend $75-100 per family member and $100 towards a food voucher to enjoy a Christmas dinner as a family.
This is a truly rewarding and enlightening experience for our kids who are so fortunate.
So here is the plan............. Scott would like the girls to go raise the money to sponsor this family. Don't worry we won't be asking you to sell things to family and friends. We are planning to have a bottle drive on SUNDAY NOVEMBER 27TH, as our schedule is free that day. Our neighbourhood and an ajoining one have been very successful in past bottle drives. A few days before we will put out flyers in mailboxes to let people know that we will be in the neighbourhood that day.
We will meet at our house at around 1:00 that day and go for 2-3 hours, we'll see how it goes.
We would like to take the girls shopping in groups probably to the Sunrise Centre on Monday or Wednesday of that week and having a wrapping party the Thursday after practice.
Gift must be in by December 5th.
So here's what we need from families..............
We need to know who is available that day to participate. We are also going to need people with vans, trucks and anyone who may have a trailer that we can collect the bottles in. I have made tentative arrangements with the Beer Store to take the bottles in on that Monday.
We hope eveyone will be able to participate and look forward to a fun and memorable time helping to make a family's Christmas as special as all of ours!
Thanks for your support
