LA MIRADA ARMADA
GIFT DONATION REQUEST
The La Mirada Armada is reviving a
long-held tradition, from our days as Industry Hills Aquatic Club, in helping
local people in need during the holidays.
We have contacted Beatitudes of Our Lord Church in La Mirada and have
offered to assist them in making this time of year a little better for some very
needy families in the area and we need your help.
They have given us 10 families to assist.
No gift is too small, every bit helps and even just a single toy can make
all the difference to a child who might otherwise go without.
The Armada Booster Club will be
providing a basket with all the makings of a traditional turkey or ham holiday
dinner and we would like our swimmers to purchase a new, unwrapped toy for the
children in these families. Please
be aware that these are families who have been affected by domestic violence,
so, toys and games touting war or with violent overtones should not be included.
We will be given the sex and ages of
these children and will be making several ornaments for each child.
Any swimmer, who wants to participate, can select an ornament of their
choosing and purchase a gift appropriate for that child.
We will also be providing ornaments for the women in these families and
will include their wish list on the ornament.
The gift(s) need to be back at the
pool by MONDAY, DECEMBER 21ST where we will wrap the gifts and
have the swimmers who donated to that family take a picture and sign the gift
card.
Thank you for your generosity.
