Dear Friends, 

It’s time to think about “ADVENTure to Give!” This year we are going to prepare gift bags and bake cookies for those served by Esperanza Latino Center in Covington on Sunday, December 10 from 1:00 – 3:00 pm in the Large Meeting Room at St. Joseph Heights. As Mary and Joseph needed the assistance of others when they arrived in Bethlehem, so our immigrant brothers and sisters in the area need our help. We want to put together about seventy (70) gift bags with personal care items and create Christmas decorations to brighten up their lives. 

Due to your generosity from last year, we have some items in storage. We are in need of the following items: 

Please have items handed in by Wednesday, December 4. They can be dropped off with the receptionist or in my office, which is off of the old library. 

If you want to make a monetary donation toward this event, we greatly appreciate your support and will shop for the items still needed.  

The event is open to anyone who would like to join us for the afternoon. Feel free to extend the invitation and the attached flier. 

To register or if you have questions, please email me ([email protected]) or call me (859-750-8190) or Margie Schnelle (859-392-8229).  

Thank you for your willingness to be a part of this venture. May it help to shape your Advent experience.
