King's Quilters -- Christmas 2010 -- a gift of giving

After we ate our lunch, played a game, and had a devotional, we all went out to the "office" where we decorated bags to be filled with birthday items. The Social Services office where I work gives "birthday bags" to the children on our assistance list when their birthday arrives.
This may consist of a decorated cake or a box of cake mix and icing, decorated plates, cups and napkins, and/or small gifts. The things we usually have for our children when we give them a birthday party. These things are totally out of reach for children whose parents don't have a job and who are living on the bare edge of existence.
Our ladies had great fun stamping the bags that would be given to the kids as part of their "birthday bag." One member brought her supply of stamps and we created all different kinds of designs.

As we drove home I stopped by KCM to drop off the items we had collected (my trunk was full!)
The ladies with me were delighted to get a tour of the facility and of the "birthday room."
