November is the month where we annually have our Operation Christmas Child Service Project. Our meeting day is Thursday, November 5, 2009 at 1:15 at the Hope School Office. I will provide the wrapping paper and labels. All you need to bring is a shoe box, items to fill the box, and $7 or a prepaid label (details will follow).
Here is the website for more information: www.samaritanspurse.org/occ.
OCC is doing something a little different this year. They have, on their website (listed above), an EZpay option, where you can pay in advance via debit or credit card, and preprint your mailing label at home. Bring this label with you to Beta Club and attach it to your box. We will bring the box to the drop off location with the others. One advantage of the EZpay Option is that you will receive emails following your box to it's destination overseas. I will have the traditional labels too, so if you prefer to pay the $7 for shipping, that will work also. If you are going to share in making a shoebox gift, please bring at least $3 so that we can cover the shipping costs.
For suggestions for what to pack in the shoeboxes, please check your email or the website. Also, plastic shoeboxes are for sale at numerous retailers in our area.
