UPCOMING EVENTS
November Book Club
THE UNHONEYMOONERS By Christina Lauren
Book club will meet at Sara Woodall’s house on November 19 at 7:00pm, address will be emailed out the week of the meeting!
RSVP to be added to the Book Club Text Thread!
Our annual Toy Drive starts today!
We have 75 kids asking for a gift and 117 UPPA Members!
I challenge each UPPA Family to sponsor one child so we can make this Christmas great for them!! Each family attending the Holiday Hayride is required to participate in the toy drive!
Please read the instructions on the Sign Up Genius below, gifts need to be returned to Liz Hunter's house at 3832 Stanford Ave by Dec 5!! After selecting a child, please stop by Liz's house to pick up their color coordinated card from her porch. This card should be attached to the gift(s) at drop off. If you purchase more than one item for your child, please bag it and attach the card securely to the bag. The colored card will state to return the bag to the CPD Warehouse, but we will do that for you.
Consider purchasing some age appropriate necessities like a winter coat, socks, shoes, toiletries, or giftcards for the kids, along with their one requested item.
This is a simple, easy way to help others who are in need this Christmas. Toy Drives and Angel Trees are one of my absolute favorite Christmas Traditions. I encourage everyone to pick a child & gift today and take your own kids with you to purchase gifts.
Please reach out to Mary or Liz with questions!
Happy Holidays!
