holidays.
Boys and
Girls Aid
FAroL KAHLe
presIDent
on october 15, Boys & girls
Aid unveiled a new logo (see
above) and introduced a new
tagline. Boys & girls Aid went
through a rebranding process, because they wanted their branding
to give a sense of the organization’s 28-year-long history and
legacy of helping children. Many
things about the new branding
also save Boys & girls Aid money.
At the october luncheon, Cypress Branch continued an important and beloved holiday tradition
- the giving tree. three holiday
trees were displayed with gift tags
that members could choose from:
one for girls, one for boys and
one for the residential programs
facilities. each gift tag represents
a child and his or her wish for the
holidays, and the Cypress member purchases that item for the
child. the gifts requested range
from earrings to sneakers, from
board games to baking supplies
and everything else in between.
By selecting the child’s holiday
wish gift tag, Cypress is helping
fulfill that child’s wish!
Last year, Cypress helped fulfill the wishes of more than 80
children and youth. the value
of the gifts-in-kind totaled over
$1,200 and did not go unnoticed.
The holidays are a difficult time
for many of the youth in Boys &
girls Aid’s care, but Cypress is
able to bring some joy during the
holidays. We are asked to bring
the gifts, unwrapped or in a gift
bag, to the December brunch at
springridge on thursday, December 5 at 10:30 am.
some Cypress members will
be working with the girls in
the residential programs to create some crafts for the holidays,
such as card making and baking
and decorating cookies. Many
of these girls have never had the
opportunity to experience these
the poinsettias ordered from
Al’s gardens will be delivered to
Dianne McMichael’s home on
Monday, november 24 and be
available for pick-up on tuesday
or Wednesday.
If any of these projects appeal
to you, come join us at the next
monthly luncheon meeting at
springridge on Friday, november 15 at 11:30 am. Call Sandee
Brown at 503-694-8261 for a reservation.
