Creating bountiful GIFT BASKETS -IT's A BIG PARTY!!!!!
On the day of our Basket Brigade, we as volunteers will come together as a group to put together and decorate our baskets.
Make our baskets truly wonderful. Decorate them beautifully with ribbons, bows and more.use your imagination. Fill them with a combination of delicious goodies and practical items. Provide nourishment for the spirit by including Tony Robbins' book, Notes from a Friend. Your basket should convey that it is a gift, not a handout; a present, not charity! Stay away from all used items.
Each basket is delivered with the message:
"This
comes to you from someone who cares about you. All we ask is that you
take care of yourself well enough to be able to do this for someone
else someday." |
