It has been a week of highs and lows. All 209 children were sponsored! Five new ones came in. We found more sponsors! But we’re getting close to the October 1 deadline.Bottom line? We’re getting close to our October 1 do-or-die deadline for turning in those bags. I know most of you have already taken care of all the shopping and wrapping. And perhaps one or two of you still haven’t done it. Five more days!
Before we start the hardcore nagging, we just want to say that we appreciate each and every one of you. Where else in the world can we find 210 people to do all this work, spend all this money and buy all this wrapping paper? This community is the greatest 
and the party doesn’t happen without these bags. As you may know, for some of these kids this is it for Christmas. What you give is all they get. So believe me, this weekend’s shopping will affect children in ways you can never imagine. Thank you all of you.
The official drop off point is the Newcomers meeting on Wednesday, October 1. If you’re turning in your bags to an alternate drop off point, those addresses are at the very bottom of this blog. Please turn them in to any of these addresses by September 30.If you’re coming to Newcomers, Sue Banman Sileci be there at the bottom of the hill. Do you know where that informal parking lot is after you drive past the Scandinavian Church? Just drive on past the church on Job Lane and she'll be sitting at the bottom of the hill, clipboard in hand, ready to cross you off the list and thank you with all her heart.
Address: Rua Job Lane, 1030 / Alto da Boa Vista
Date: Wednesday, October 1
Time: 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
