Wow... The materials from Oriental Traders have arrived... a great variety of items: colored & regular pencils and sharpeners, scissors, glue stix, jump ropes, balls, dominoes... The denim backpacks are just the right size... I filled one out of excitement...

Orders from Dollar Tree are also here: playing cards.... I wonder if kids know all the games that used to keep us occupied for hours on end: War, Steal the Old Man's Pack, Concentration... I will make up some fliers with the directions on them for the kids.

I hear more pictures and book marks are being made... Will include those as well.

More checks have arrived: getting close to my goal. Thank you, Rotary Club of North Providence, RI for $500.

Now to figure out delivery...

Thank you for all who are spreading the word... Please keep items coming.
