It looks like we are short on the wrapping paper needed from our team. Please double check the list that Mitzi sent out and see what is still needed for our family.
The items are due to Mitzi Lewis by Monday, December 7. The items should NOT be wrapped. They should however be marked/tagged with the name of the child. Big Brothers Big Sisters will wrap the items for the family.
