CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION-TOYS FOR CHILDREN

CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION at Fatima Center & ANNUAL TOY DRIVE

It’s time for AWC’s annual toy drive! This year the toys you donate will be given to the children of Fatima Center of the Good Shepherd Sisters, a charity organization that provides self-help training and support services for the needy. Where? When? How? you ask …

AWC will host a Christmas party at Fatima Center in Bangkok on Thursday, December 9th from 10:30am–Noon. We invite our members to come celebrate the season with the children.

How does the Toy Drive work?

• We ask that you limit the value of each toy to between 300 to 400 baht. This helps us ensure that each child will receive a comparable gift. If you want to spend more, please feel free to buy as many toys as your heart desires.
• Please consider that there will be 100 boys and girls ranging from 3 1/2 to 7 years of age.
• No need to wrap the toys you give, but if you want to also donate wrapping paper, that would be great.

Where do you take your toy donations? We want to make it easy for you, so here are the drop-off locations:

• Members’ Market at AWC, Tuesday, November 23rd
• AGM Luncheon & Election, Tuesday, November 30th
• AWC Clubhouse, anytime through Friday, December 3rd

Feeling more generous? We are asking you to consider making a donation of 100 baht for one of the 100 T-shirts we will be giving to the children at Fatima Center. We will accept your donations at any of the drop-off locations, and we thank you so much!

One more bit of news! The Community Projects Committee will hold a little party to wrap the toys on Tuesday, December 7th, 9:30am at the Catherine's house. We invite you to come help. The more the merrier!

We do hope you and your friends can join the holiday fun on December 9th at Fatima Center (see www.goodshepherdbangkok.com/wp/ for location). More details to come as we have them … There is no cost, but we would like to know if you plan to come.
