Holiday Party

We had fun looking at the lights in Naples, having hot cocoa and exchanging our Secret Santa gifts. Get well soon, Ariana! Don't forget to meet at our school location Wed, Dec 24 at 9 am to carpool to our caroling Kiniya project.

AIDS Wrap Party pictures

Shi Wa Yu Ma members had fun at the AIDS Wrap party, held at the Council last Monday night. We wrapped presents for sick children (donated by other Camp Fire members, friends, and families) and wrote holiday cards to soldiers overseas.

Kiniya Project

The girls are practicing caroling every week at Camp Fire meetings in preparation for the December 24th event at the Senior Center. We are scheduled to perform at the Long Beach Senior Center (on 4th Street) on Wed. Dec. 24th at 9:30 a.m.. We will meet at Stanford at 9:00 a.m. sharp to carpool there. This is the Kiniya service project that the girls planned. The girls will wear jeans, red sweatshirts, Ugg-type boots, and scarves and beanies for the performance. Each girl has a CD with all of the songs we are singing and a lyrics sheet so they can practice at home as well. We have some very talented singers in our group. I know they will do a great job!

Secret Santas
The girls wanted to do Secret Santas within the group again this year. They each took home a flyer on Monday Dec 1st with the details. They will have between Dec 1 and Dec 14 to deliver 3 Secret Santa gifts ($5 or under; homemake is encouraged). On Sunday evening, Dec 14th, we will meet for a walk of the Naples canals to look at the lights and decorations. Each girl should bring her 4th and final gift to this event. We will take time at the end of the evening to exchange gifts and reveal the Secret Santas. Parents and siblings are invited to attend the Naples walk too. We'll meet at the fountain at 7:00 p.m. (Turn into Naples at the Rite Aid).
