764 BAGS!
That's how many gift bags we were able to put together with everyone's help for the Valentines Senior Charity!
When I tell people that I'm working on my Valentine's charity and how it takes up so much of my time in Jan & Feb, they never really understand what all goes into it. How are you that busy???
The constant communication with 100's of people, ordering, shopping, sorting, organizing, picking stuff up, etc. I feel like a broken record talking about it, but it really does take up so much of my time.
The only way to really know how much work it is, is to be involved yourself.
After the last week especially, I felt like a walking zombie yesterday. Minimal sleep for days and sore from lots of hard work. And I couldn't have done it without my helpers. Especially Corie Moonen, Cyndy Mohney & Dusty Cooper. Cyndy and Corie took a couple days off work to help out on a fun project and didnt know the hard work they were about to get into. LoL Dusty came and helped make bags and shopped for stuff we were short on because she was determined to make sure we had a bag for everyone!
This was a TEAM effort and sooo many people were involved. I've said it before and I'll say it again, this is a joint effort and not just my event. We're well past me just bringing a flower and a card to a place 9 urs ago. We're bringing hundreds of people joy and we get a lot back from them as well. All day everyone is smiling and laughing.
I have way too many people to tag and thank that have either donated money, items or made cards, helped put bags together or helped deliver.
Just want to say a
BIG THANK YOU!‼️😁
P.S. Oh and next yr there will be wine involved when making the bags 😂
