OPERATION SHOEBOX – The brochures and the labels for the boxes are in, and are on the Stone Street table.  This is an early reminder that you and your child can begin now to collect items that will fit in a shoebox.  Gear gifts for each box to a boy or girl.  Ages per shoebox are 2-4 years, 5-9 years or 10-14 years. School supplies, bars of soap, gum, sunglasses, combs, toothbrushes, toothpaste, hard candy, mints, t-shirts, jewelry sets, small books, watches, small toys are just a few suggestions.  Please don’t include breakable items, liquid items, chocolate, perishable items or toy weapons.
 

 If you decide that you still wish to pay postage, it is $7, put it in the box, and put a sticky note on the outside of the box saying the postage is inside.  You do not have to wrap your shoebox; however, do put a label (found on the back of the OCC brochure) denoting boy or girl and age on the shoebox and put a strong rubber band around the box.  If you wish to wrap the box in brightly colored paper, please wrap the top and bottom of the box separately and put the label on it denoting boy or girl and age with a rubber band around it.  The deadline to receive the shoeboxes will be announced later.

 

We have OCC shoeboxes available in the board room, over by the coffee pot.  If you use a  regular shoebox, wrapping is not necessary; however, do put a label (found on the back of the OCC brochure) denoting boy or girl and age on the shoebox and put a strong rubber band around the box.  If you wish to wrap the box in brightly colored paper, please wrap the top and bottom of the box separately and put the label on it denoting boy or girl and age with a rubber band around it.  Don’t include breakable items, liquid items, chocolate, perishable items or toy weapons, etc.

 

If possible, we would like to dedicate the boxes the Sunday they are to be delivered to the drop off site.  More details to follow.
