| Beanie Babies in Action |
This message is mainly to my fellow Loganities-or
surrounding areas. In this holiday season we're all reminded to help others, to
give to those in need, ect. This year it seems abnormally hard due to the
economy. I know of a project almost anyone can help with. There is a team who
is gathering items for soldiers. But their biggest request is for something
most likely sitting on your computer, in your garage, or on a shelf. Beanie
Babies.
This is a direct quote from the site http://www.anysoldier.
“Send some in every package... as they are
really easy for the Soldiers to carry with them and give to the local kids who
love them. These are better then small plastic toys which will break easily and
are not as easy to carry in a pack. There is NO more effective ambassador for
our country than a Soldier helping the local folks. This is done far more often
then the press shows, and quite probably the most important thing a Soldier
will ever do. You folks sent the toys this Marine is handing to the
child."
I didn't want them to be donated to DI or
other thrift store. I wanted to make sure someone would love it and cherish
it.
Now I am not suggesting you give away your
beloved Princess Diane purple Teddy or Squirrel or anything beloved-like the
super cute GiGi that you are saving for your little 4 year old. But I know
there is at least a few you doubled up on some beanies as your genius plan to
sell on e-bay (when you were 10). If you can-please bring your treasure to our
office by December 10th-our boss will pay for the shipping-so bring whatever
you have. Hey, you might find the baby dolphin you always wanted-go ahead,
trade it out as a two for one. (You donate two-and get the 1 you want).
This holiday season is tough-maybe you're not
able to support a paper angel-but we all have it better than most of the
world-and that little kid looks happier than anything I have seen in a long
time.

We're still at 10-which is so sad. Look at the pictures and play "Arms of an Angle" Sarah Mclachlan style.
