ANGEL TREE
Angels will be available
Sunday, Dec. 1 to choose.
INSTRUCTIONS 1. Choose an Angel or 2 (each child has 2
angels on the tree)
2. On the back of each Angel is a Family #,
gender, age, sizes, special needs and a special
request of child.
3. We ask that the special need request is
purchased, and if possible, purchase the
special request. (you might want to include a gift
receipt in case the wrong size is purchased)
4. Wrap the gift, PLACE THE ANGEL BACK
ON THE GIFT, and return to the Angel Tree
by Wed., Dec. 18. The Angel is the ONLY
way we have to track who the gift belongs
too. If you purchase more than one gift, you
may want to write the Family # on the
package. Note: If gifts are not returned by the designated
date, it requires the office staff to purchase what is
needed to cover those missing angels. Gifts are
sorted on the 19th and we purchase and wrap what is
missing. Gifts will be delivered on the 20th.
