Merry Christmas!

Gift Delivery

Although we did not make our goal of 40 sets, we came very close with 27 complete naptime sets of pillows and blankets. We also had enough fabric left over to make an additional 20 pillows. Great job!


We were not allowed to take any pictures of the girls with the students but it was a wonderful sight to see the girls reading to the young children. The girls each read to a single child or two children and they had time to read at least two stories. The teacher was so appreciative and told us she couldn't wait to pick out a special pillow and blanket for each child.

The motto of Camp Fire is to "Give Service." Shi Wa Yu Ma members should feel very proud of themselves.

Dues

Just a friendly reminder, our group dues are $10 per month. Please have your daughter bring her dues to the next regular meeting. We have a record if you need to check if you are caught up or not.

Kiniya delivery, Dec 17th

Our girls have worked so hard to create some wonderful gifts for the Bethune School kindergarteners!

We have arranged a delivery date of Monday, Dec. 17th. We will need to leave school by 2 pm so that the girls can hand deliver their items to the class and read them some stories.

- Please notify your daughter's teacher that they need to leave school early this day and Stephanie or Charlene will be signing them out. We plan on returning to school (meet near cafeteria) by 3:30 - 3:45 pm

- Signed permission slip must be given to Charlene before this day. Charlene will be sending home permission slip through each girl's classroom.

- Each girl should bring a new or gently used story book appropriate for 4-5 year olds that she will be reading to a small group of children. We will then be donating the books to the kindergarten class.

- Uniform is required. If your daughter needs to bring their vest instead of wearing it, make sure it is in their backpack so they can put it on when we leave.

Thank you to Mark Nogawa for the great pictures of Kiniya and the Christmas Parade!
