Ask and you shall receive...

It seems like I'm always asking for things lately...I have never been know as a person who asks for donations or help (unless your name is "mom"..ha ha) But lately
since I have gotten involved in some extracaricular activities, Ive found myself
asking for more help than usual...and I am so gratefull that each time I have
asked I have been totally blessed by someone who was able to assist!!!!

So anyway, since I seem to be on a roll, I'm going to come right out and ASK again..Our Church is having a Harvest Carnival on October 31st. There will be a "trick or trunk" for the children, Free carnival games for the kids, Face painting booth, and Live entertainment. Everything will be free except for a small food booth that will be selling hotdogs, popcorn and drinks at a very minimal cost.

This will be the first annual Harvest Carnival for our church. We are hoping to have a good turn out and help aliviate some of the Trick or Treat stress from Tototville.

Anyway, in order to pull this off we need quite a few donations and I have gratiously
accepted to be the Chairperson for the Solicitation and Donation Committee...

Follows is a list of items we really, really need for our carnival. If anyone can help, even in the smallest way, I would soooooo appreciate it. Even if you can't donate yourself, if you can pass the word on to others or point me in the direction of someone you may know who can, I woudl so appreciate it!!!!

Balloons
Darts (plastic with metal tips)
Plywood
Nails
Face Paint
Paint Brushes (for face painting booth)
Buckets (6)
Sponges
Rope
Bubbles
Candies


I think thats about it for now...Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide...And if your not busy on October 31st, please do bring your family down to our Carnival!!!

clarification please...what size of nails? bubbles? are these the ones kids play with...like blowing bubbles? sponges with scrubbers on one side or just plain sponges? I'll give you my contributions. Love You!

LOL..WHY DID I KNOW YOU WOULD HAVE A COMMENT?! HE HE...

Nails- I know nothing about sizes, but think booth building..hammering into plywood and two x fours, and thats the type of nails we need.

Bubbles for blowing- For the kiddie booth we are going to set up for the younger children

sponges without scrubbers please! They are going to be thrown at someones face in one of the games and I think hitting someone in the face with a wet scrubber would constitute cruel and unusual punishment..

and last but not least...I will take any contributions..Im sure if you search around your house you can find half the stuff I need..ha ha ha ha...Love you!

'Okey-dokey! Got it!!! Yes, I will immediately start the 'search'. I still want your T-Shirt...and will wear it too :-) The promoters (Angelo r u reading?) should want to see as many old ladies wearing the T-shirts :-)
Love You, Sweetie!
