This month’s Paper Pumpkin Kit is titled “HOPE BOX”. It contains materials to make nine cards and coordinating envelopes. It includes uplifting sentiments and a decorated box to hold the things that give you hope. The Paper Pumpkin kit became available to purchased on July 11th, with the offer closing on August 10th.
Yesterday, I read an article in a local newspaper that reminded me that it was 20 years ago that our world changed. And now, once again, there seems to be a feeling of hopelessness that surrounds our country. We need to know that our world will be better...we will get through this.
The article also mentioned that the Nature Coast Volunteer Center has launched a 9/11 Cards and Letters to First Responders Project. This year, the 20th Anniversary of the 9/11 attack has been designated as National Day of Service and Remembrance. The Florida organization is collecting cards to be sent to those who run into the fires, who keep us safe both day and night, who give us HOPE for the future, just as they did 20 years ago. So, if you have a card or two, or can make a card or two, that say “Thank YOU” for giving Hope when it seems to be hopeless, please forward them to a local First Responders location in your area. If you live in Florida, you can also send the cards to:
Nature Coast Volunteer Center
2804 W. Marc Knighton Court Key #4
Lecanto, FL 34461.
(For more information call: 813-469-9597)
In the next few days, please fill your HOPE BOX with things that make you hopeful, and send a thank you card to those who protect you and give you hope.
