Slipper Drive
This is the information about the slipper drive we announced today. You can bring them to the next MOPS meeting and we will get the slippers to Lori. Here is the information from Lori:
Attention all Shoppers! Lilly needs your help!
After our recent stay at Phoenix Children's Hospital, it became apparent children need slippers! The other children in the hematology/oncology floor were quite taken with Lilly's Hello Kitty slippers. Many of the children walk up and down the halls pushing their IV poles wearing pajamas and socks. Lilly believes they all need slippers! When we arrived at Target tonight, all of the children's slippers were 70% off!!! Spongebob, Hello Kitty, Smurfs, Spiderman, Cars, hearts and more were $2.98 per pair. We are staring our SLIPPER DRIVE with the 37 pairs we bought tonight. Let's see how many slippers we can donate to the patients at Phoenix Children's Hospital. If you want to help, email me for a mailing address (loriksu@yahoo.com). Thanks in advance! Any size, especially XS, S, M for boys and girls are appreciated. Slippers must be new.
