Christian's eagle project, please read!

Christian's Eagle project will be held on Tuesday, November 8th. We need as much support as possible from the Arnesen clan! I would love to see all of us there that live in the area. Christian has put in over 118 hours of community service already with all the volunteers. It is going to be awesome, we hope. But, we can't do it without all of you.

First of all, if you could help donate, that would be great. We are collecting gifts for the children in the House of Hope in North Bend. It is a shelter for battered women and children. These will be Christmas gifts, and will be brought to them by the cast members right there to the home on another date after the performance. The ages of the children are this:

Girls: 17, 12, 10, 9,8 7, 3, 2, 9 mos and 8 mos.

Boys: 6, 4, 3, 2 and 1

We are also collecting thanksgiving type food for the food bank. We will be dropping off the food right after the play, as it is only one block from the performance.

So, here is the run-down. If we could get you all out to Clark Elementary in Issaquah by 6 p.m. on Tuesday, November 8th, that would be great. Even if you just show up it will be helpful because the special needs adults and teens will have a larger audience. The food and presents will be collected there, and the performance will begin at 7 p.m. It will only last about 40 minutes or so, and after it is over, we will need your help to move the food and presents out of there and to the food bank, one block away. I know that sounds strange, but the parents and friends will be transporting the actors and actresses, and the food will be dropped off that night. We have someone there to collect it from us on that evening. The presents we will take home with us, or I will ask that someone take some home with them to be picked up at a later time in our van. (like mom and dad's or something)

That is the extent of it. Christian has put sooooo much effort into this already, and we are working on making this a sucess. Beleive me, this will be his only Eagle project (I promise), so if you can come, it would be incredibly memorable for him. I am taking a lot of pictures and putting them in a book for him, and we want you in it!

I know it is a busy time, but if you could take some time for one evening, we would REALLY LOVE IT!!!!

We love you all. Call or write with questions. I hope this has not rambled toooooo looooooong.
