LAMP Christmas Craft  & Children's "White Elephant"  Sale
 
Friday, December 2nd
9AM - 11:30AM
Calloway County Library  Annex
 
For a number of years now LAMP  families have enjoyed an evening of fellowship during the holiday  with a Christmas dinner, along with a holiday craft for the children and a white elephant sale.  This is always a well attended event.  However, Please  Note:  This year we will only be  hosting a holiday craft & white elephant sale.  

I am in charge of the "white  elephant" sale and would like to give you the information now so you  can be making your plans to attend.  If you have any
questions,  please email me at _eells4him@aol.com_  .
 
 
Each family is asked to bring at least two "white  elephant" items per child. (Last year, we thought we weren't going to have enough  "dad items" which
could only have meant we had children shopping who  didn't bring an item. --
Please, please bring a man & a woman's  gift for EACH child who will be shopping
in your  family.)  Most years, families bring more than  the minimal number of items and children have the opportunity to  shop for siblings, grandparents, etc... with
whatever is left.   So... clean out those closets and bring an arm load!   

Upon your arrival, items will be set up &  arranged in our "holiday gift store".  a.k.a.... one of the  rooms in the annex.  Children will be divided by age.  One group will shop, while the other group begins  their holiday craft.  As they finish they will go to  snack time.  When snack time is over, they will switch to  whatever they haven't done (shop or craft). 
 
The "white elephant" sale gives each child an opportunity to  shop for a Christmas gift for their Mom and dad! Gift wrapping will  be available! Children really enjoy wrapping their gifts at the  "gift counter"! 
 
**All items will be marked fifty cents, thus allowing each  child to buy a present for their Mom and dad for one dollar!
 
LAMP kids LOVE this event!
 
*Are You wondering what "white elephant items" are? 
Well... it's that trinket you hate to dust ... it's the  tie that doesn't
match dad's suit ... it's the book you've finished  reading, etc....  In
general, they are used items, in  good condition you have lying around your  house.  
 
 
We will need donations of wrapping paper,  bows, tape, etc....   Please bring
whatever you  can.
