Added to what we bought were items donated through the International Women's Club. AND a group of friends threw themselves a 70's party, no, not a retro hippy kind of 70's, but all of them were turning or had turned 70 in 2012. Ken made the offer of a ticket for a free drink to anyone that brought an age appropriate gift. So we had that stuff as well. Not to mention a collection taken at the Merida Men's Club. Donations came in all forms, and I wish I could Thank each of you personally, but you know who you are.
Thank You!
So these girls are getting a bagful of goodies, in addition we have a number of things that are for the 'house', hula hoops, jump ropes, soccer balls, blankets, towels, great stuff all! They are also getting stuff to give their families, and there was even enough to buy a scarf for each of the staff women.
