Well, next week we begin the events. When people ask me if I'm ready for Christmas, I generally start talking about Giving Kids - and we're nearly ready. All the gifts are ordered, paid for, and either on their way or already here. Most of the overhead is taken care of, with only small things like tags and tablecloths yet to buy. Work-wise, we still have to organize gifts into school-size groups (4), then into gift-giving categories, then into displays and back-up inventory bins for each event. We have to organize some of the practical bits of the events, like volunteer scheduling and putting together supplies for each volunteer position. Overall, we're doing very well and on target to have a wonderful Giving Kids season!
A million thanks to the volunteers who've offered their time and talents this year - this is the best volunteer turn-out ever.
