Everywhere!

Hey Everyone,
So the 22nd is getting closer and closer and this project (Everyone Deserves Gifts AKA Spare the Cold)is become more and more of a reality thanks to the community. I would like to ask everyone who has any donations to please drop me an email at gab@sparethecold.org. If you can let me know how many items you have, which ones they are and where you are dropping them off then that would key!!! Check out a our kindly donated website (by http://www.retrix.com/) at http://www.sparethecold.org/ for the projects cool poster and info about donations!
So of course in all my craziness I forgot to ask if anyone has BACKPACKS to stuff the items in??? I will try and buy as many as I can... but if you have any used ones lying around feel free to drop them off.
New Numbers
100 out of 100 treats
100 out of 100 Vaseline jars
71 out of 100 toques
38 out of 100 pairs of socks

My intentions are better

Written by Catherine Ludgate on 12 December, 2006

My intentions are better than my blogging skills, pals.  I keep losing the thread of this discussion, so I think I need to study more about how to stay connected here.  Anyway, I do have lots o' socks here -- maybe more than now seem to be needed (for this particular project).  Should I try returning some and adding mittens to the pile?

Best, Catherine
