CHRISTMAS IN JULY WORKSHOP

On July 25 from 9 a.m. to noon the Senior Center will hold its first Santa’s workshop this year. We are recruiting creative and talented elves to set the stage for the workshops to be successful. There will be one workshop held each month from now until November to get ready for the grand opening which will be held on Sat., Nov. 5 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. In addition to elves, we need individuals good at organizing to help set up for the workshops. The first setup will be held on Fri., July 22 at 4 p.m. We also need you wonderful bakers to make homemade desserts for the grand opening. If you can help in any way, let us know. Although the opening of the Santa’s Gift Shop isn’t until November, it takes a lot of work and time to prepare for this two month sale and this year we have plans to include a special section with autumn and Thanksgiving. In order for any of this to be possible, we need donations – household items, Christmas items, decorations, handmade crafts, items to go in gift baskets, jewelry, etc. If we can’t use it for the Santa’s Gift Shop, we’ll place it in our Odds & Ends Sale. Donated items must be clean and in good condition. No books, broken items, or clothes; although, hats, gloves, and scarves are accepted. If you’re talented, consider making something to donate. Donations may be dropped off at the front desk of the Senior Center, 202 N. Church St., Mooresville, M-F 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Donation forms are available for tax purposes. This is a fundraiser for the Senior Center and all proceeds go to support South Iredell Senior Center. PLEASE donate and remember the Senior Center as you downsize, clean out, or get rid of items you no longer want.
