VILLA MARIA GIFT WRAP 2007

Many people donate gifts for the children at Villa Maria.  The gifts are dropped off at Villa Maria to be wrapped later.  Groups of volunteers are invited to spend an evening at Villa Maria wrapping the gifts. The Greater Jacksonville Optimists’ time to wrap gifts at Villa Maria is Thursday evening, December 20, 2007. We’ll meet at 5:00 PM and will work until about 8:00 PM wrapping gifts. You can stop by anytime during that time frame to assist with the wrapping.  Carol Porcher is coordinating this activity for our Club.  If you would like to join this fun wrapping party, please contact Carol at H 410-357-4717, W 410-666-0008, or carol.porcher@pnc.com. We look forward to seeing you there!
