THANK YOU!!!!

on Jan 04 in Uncategorized by kim

I don’t even know how to express the gratitude of the entire Art a la Carte Committee, other than simply saying “THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!” Each and everyone of you was instrumental in helping us with our first annual Christmas Tree Donation Drive.  We couldn’t have done it without you.

First and foremost Thank You to each of the 26 business owners who hosted Christmas trees, wrapped presents and endured all of the unknowns as we coordinated this for our first year.  All in an effort to create a Christmas for 26 Milwaukie families that would have otherwise gone without.  Thank You to Darlene at CIACC for helping us to find our families.  Thank You to the Milwaukie Lions Club for helping us with the food boxes that were donated to the families.  Thank You to Sue Kramer and Robin Baden at ODS for coordinating all of the toiletry boxes that were also donated to the families.  Thank You to the folks at Safeway on 42nd and King Rd. who came through at the last minute with turkey breasts at a great price for our families. Thank You to Ed Aaron for allowing us to use his building, as well as his financial support with this endeavor. Thank You to Grayrose Marketing for helping to enhance the food boxes with their donation. Thank You to the schools and organizations who made and decorated ornaments for all of the trees.

We also would like to thank Mt. Hood Mustangs and Fords, especially Randy, Jason, Lyle, Tim, Eli, Neola, Don, Bob and Lynne, thanks to Grayrose Marketing especially Kelli, and Phillip, and thanks to Mike Miller and Frank Higeura!!!!!!!!!!  Without each and everyone of you the Christmas trees, food boxes and gifts wouldn’t have been delivered to the families.  We are truly grateful for all of your help.

This event was a huge success and we look forward to next year !!!
