Each year, the SGC makes goodie baskets and delivers them to community shut-ins on Valentine’s Day. Please start collecting items for the baskets and bring them to the next meeting scheduled on Tuesday,  February 11th, so we can stuff and deliver them.

The following is a list of suggested items: stamps, Post-it-notes, notepads, pens, pencils, crossword puzzles, sugar-free cookies and candy, crackers, lotion, shampoo, soap, anti-bacterial soap, wipes, toothpaste, Kleenex, Chapstick, envelopes, magnifying class, small address book – or – any other item you feel is appropriate.

Thanks in advance for your help.
