Signs

I have had to redo many of the signs becaue the first ones were handmade and took a while, and when they got ripped, it took a lot of work to redo them. So I have decided to make one on the ocmputer, so when one rips, I can just print off a new one.

Second day I was open. I had about 5 or 6 familes come in. They were so nice and sweet. We talked and had a good time, and I learned they have just recently started attending chirch there.

And, of course, I have more laundry to do.

I have had to make a special section for formals because so many of them have been brought in. I could not believe it when a woman brought in 6 mens suits, all pretty much in mint condition.

Announcments

The Angel Food Ministries is an organization that distributes food. People can come in and buy some amazing food at a lower price. They asked me for some papaers with informantion about the clothing closet to put in their distribution boxes.

Here is an example of one:

I had an announcment come out in the bulletin at the church. It is sent out every week to members and visitors at the church, and to the surrounding communities.

For Those In Need
Lil’ Sprouts is a clothing closet open to anyone. There is clothing for all ages and all sizes. It is located in the church’s lower level and there are signs showing where it is located. It will be open the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of each month from 9am to 11 am. Feel free to come in. Each season there is a distribution policy and with each season, the amount given out is changed.
For Those Who Have Helped the Need
Thank you to all those who have donated items and given their time to help me. I have been bombarded with laundry the last few weeks. But, finally, all is done, and I am ready to open in November. If anybody is looking for community service hours for school, I could use the help and there is plenty to do for any age that needs hours. I am always needing clothes and hangers, which is one item I lack. Please encourage your friends, after yard sales, to maybe donate some of the leftover items to me or maybe another organization. Again, thanks to all who have helped so far.

Even though I am only open on a few Saturdays, I help people throughout the week also. If someone comes down while I am down there during the week, I gladly help them then and not push them to wait. Some people live farther out and can only come on certain days of the week, so if they are lucky enough to catch me, I take them down there.

Opening Day!!!!

I had a few families come in, but I didn't expeact too many to come on the first day. I spent 4 hours at the clothing closet today. I have almost an abundance of clothes. It's better to be safe than sorry. I did find out what I am lacking and the sizes many of the families need.

I have been practicing a lot for Nutcracker lately. This year I am a Baker and a Soldier 8. I have had two practices every week until recently I have had one every day for 5.5 hours.

I have always loved being in the Nutcracker, but this is the first year I have danced. i usually tumble in only one scene. But now that I am in Owensboro Dance Theater, I dance in 2 scenes. I get a dressing rom with a lighted mirror like those in the movies. The performance is this Friday and Saturday and I just can't wait.
