The Time of Giving
There has been very little activity as far as the Washington Lolitas' are concerned. We all are busy, and in times like these you find yourself counting your pennies. Others are even less than fortunate and are finding themselves in dire need and help from others.
This is an open invitation to Give and Receive this upcoming holiday and bring cheer and merriment to our small but growing community. To get to know one another, and bring on the true feelings of this American Holiday.
I am hosting a Food and Toy drive for this Holiday Season. The person who can gather the MOST food for the Northwest Harvest will win either an ipod Shuffle or previous generation ipod Nano, courtesy of myself for your hard work, dedication and care.
All you need to do is collect as much non perishable items between December 1st 12pm till December 20th 12pm. Bring them to our meet that Sunday for final tally and at dinner, I will announce the winner.
Toys for Tots are also looking for unwrapped gifts for children young and old, primarily teenagers are forgotten at this time and are too in need of gifts. Please bring at least 2 items new and unwrapped at our meeting place,
Fire Station 1 in Bellevue, located on Bellevue Way.
After dropping off all the toys and gifts, rounding up all the collections we'll make our way to Bellevue Square in time for the Snowflake lane happenings. Enjoy snow, real drummer boys, and a small parade. After the festivities we'll retire to the Cheesecake Factory for food and gift giving. Those who wish to participate in the gift giving, bring a gift no more than $15, wrapped, and easy to give to either sex. We'll then do a game to swap presents and make it all a surprise!
If you're not tired yet, we can either visit the new high end Bravern for Trophy cupcakes, or enjoy a movie at Lincoln Square. Heck we can all have our photos taken with Santa to boot!
Break down!
Who? Nikki is hosting a food and toy drive!(that's also the what!)
When? December 1st through the 20th!
On the 20th we'll meet at 5:45pm at the 1st Fire station in Bellevue to drop off toys, and collect all the food donations for counting. 7pm is when Snowflake Lane begins, and shortly after we'll take our reservation at the Cheesecake Factory where there will be gift giving and the winner of the food drive will receive their prize.
Please RSVP by November 30th for the dinner reservations.
If you have questions concerning anything, the food or toy drive, transportation, gifts, or the date. Please let me know asap and through message. Private message goes directly to my email, and please leave an email I can respond back to.
If you are located North of Seattle, I am willing to drive you down and your collections :) gas money would be nice, but not necessary.
Thank you everyone!! I hope this turns out great!
