Subject: AICR CSI: Donations requested for Casa di Kim Christmas Party
AICR is organizing a Christmas party for the ill children at Casa di Kim as part of its Community Service Initiative on Saturday afternoon, December 19 from 2 to 4 p.m. It will take the combined efforts of the Board, membership and management to make it successful and we urge you to take part.
With your donations (monetary and presents), we'll provide gifts, food, beverages and a festive atmosphere for these ill children, their families and the staff that support them. We hope you and your family and friends can join in the party too.
We plan to bring a gift for each child and mother at the Casa di Kim. Casa di Kim also needs various supplies to help them through the year. Please take a look at the gifts listed below, and let the office know which gift you would like to donate. Here is the WISH LIST:
Wish List
*digital blood pressure machine
*blender
*iron
*hair drier
*saturimetro pediatrico (accepting cash donations for this gift)
*Each child will receive one personal gift (A total of 10 gifts). We will receive the list of names/ages on November 30th, with gift ideas. To make it fair for all, gifts are suggested to be in the range of 15-20 euro.
*A small gift for each mother, such as body lotion, scarf, etc. (A total of 10 mothers). To make it fair for all, gifts are suggested to be in the range of 15 euro.
*Cash donations (suggested donation 15 euro) to cover the party expenses and/or gifts not donated.
If you would like to purchase a gift listed, contact the office to let us know to avoid buying the same item/for the same person twice. We are accepting new gifts only and they are requested to be wrapped. On the outside of the package include a label with your name, the recipient and what the gift is.
If you plan on coming to the party, please bring your gift you purchased with you. If you cannot attend, but want to donate a gift, current drop off points for new gifts and cash donations are all AICR events in December and Community Service Chairperson, Carol Markino's home, in Monteverde, via Vittorio Putti 8A. Gifts may be left with the doorman from 7am to 1 pm and 4-7pm (carolmarkino@hotmail.com). AICR is not able to pick up gifts purchased. The Club will accept wire transfers for the cash donations.

AICR also needs to transport gifts, drinks, party supplies and people out to Casa di Kim. If you are planning on going to the party on the 19th with a car and can spare space for either gifts, party supplies or people, please let the office know.
