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.
