Hello all-

I have a project that I need to carry out within the next month, but I need kids to help me...

My fiancee is a police officer for a Town Agency. Being that the agency is for the entire town, it's actually a very small agency. That's a good thing because everyone knows each other and is very close. But for some reason, they don't have a family support group. For those not in the military or law enforcement, usually there is a group of families that come together throughout the year to do functions like Christmas parties or dinners and such. Quite often, I refer to it as the Wives' Club. Well, this agency has no wives' club.

So, I've decided to become a Wife of One (haha for anyone who gets that) and just do functions that I would like to see. And my first one is for Christmas. As you may know, many law enforcement officers work on Christmas Eve and Christmas. So, what I'd like to do is make up a bunch of food and decorations, go into the police station very early in the morning, and decorate the break room and put out food and stuff so the guys coming off of the midnight shift can enjoy it and the guys coming in for the early morning shift can have it, because these are the guys most effected by working on Christmas.

Now, here's where the kids come in. As a soldier, I sometimes receive cards from kids thanking me for my service. They're always very cute, sometimes crude (which makes them even cuter), and are just really awesome to get. I love them! Well, I would like it if these officers could feel the same thing. People rarely thank them for the time they spend away form their families every day, especially during the holidays. So, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in having their kids make up a card or two to this agency and send it to me so I can give it to them on Christmas. Heck, adults can make cards, too, if they really want to. In return, I would love to make a stamp and send it out to those who participate.

Ok, well.... if anyone is interested please just let me know and I'll send you more info and my address.


Thanks so much!!!

Well I subscribe to the life motto:

"Growing older is mandatory, growing up is optional."

SO.....I'd be more than happy to send something from Denver if you'd like.

Please contact me off list with more info. And I also have lots of time off in the next month or so to work on "stuff"! Heck, I can even use my State Flower stamp and some others I have sitting around to make some "mail art."
