• This month our church outreach project will be recognizing locally owned and operated businesses for their commitment and involvement in our community. Coinciding with November's Shop Local Saturday and Laramie's efforts to remind us about the benefits of local commerce, our baskets will serve as a small token of appreciation and acknowledge the sacrifices and contributions only local businesses make. Our ladies craft night (Nov 19th) will make these baskets, and couples/families are asked to help distribute them by personally visiting the business and thanking the owner/operator specifically. Our goal is to make 15 baskets this year, so we need "all hands on deck" (hat tip to our Navy Pastor)! Our church family needs your help and participation to make this project successful! Sign up sheets are posted where your suggestions and help are needed, so please think on these and sign up: *Suggested businesses to nominate *Where you would be willing to go to *Personally written thank you note citing your personal experience with a particular business and expressing your appreciation *Items: Baskets Tissue paper or filler fluff Gifts and items - can be anything! Cookies, candies, handmade items, gift certificates, relax/pamper/spa items, drink coasters, $ Store items, ANYTHING! (Locally purchased items would be best ;))
