The booth operated from Dec 1 December 24. We are especially thankful for Robert Hudson & Bill Abeyounis for coming in early consistently when there was a high demand. Also, Chris Farrow made a homemade island for the booth that holds boxes and bows which was a wonderful addition and helped keep everything centralized and organized!!! This year we profited $9,600.00 that will be distributed in the following ways as motioned by the Youth Committee and voted affirmatively by the Deacon body last fall: General Fund: $1,000.00 Youth Gift Wrap Fund: $8,600.00 The gift wrap warriors met recently and reviewed the season. This past season seemed to run the smoothest yet!!!! However, the more we do it the more efficient we become. We are so thankful for this opportunity to contribute to our church. Thank you to each person who signed up for a shift. The booth helps us get our name out onto the Peninsula and attract new people to our church. The booth also allows us to get to know one another better, working and sharing side by side. But most importantly, the Gift Wrap Booth is a vehicle through which we can share the greatest gift of all the gift of Jesus Christ.
