Hi Everyone – The big snow storm has had a very negative impact on our annual Toy Drive for the Kids Served by Moveable Feast
http://www.MFeast.org. Four of our Toy Drive parties were either canceled or had significantly reduced attendance because of bad weather this year. This has had a devastating impact on our ability to collect toys and books for these children who are living in families impacted by HIV/AIDS and Breast Cancer. But if we pull together right now we can still make sure these kids have a nice holiday. Please go online today and make a tax-deductible donation today via the Moveable Feast website:
– please specify Toy Drive 2009 as the honoree on their donation form.
If you have TOYS or BOOKS that you purchased for the Toy Drive but were unable to make it to one of the parties or collection sites to drop them off please message me directly via Glenda @ FetLife or
Glend...@aol.com and I will make arrangements to have your donations collected on Monday or Tuesday.
Through the efforts of our BDSM/leather/fetish/swing/poly communities in Baltimore, DC and Virginia; including extra pushes from several people who have gotten the folks they work with and/or their entire families involved; we have met the goal of providing for all of these kids for the last three years.
THANK YOU so very much to EVERYONE who brought an unwrapped toy(s) or book(s) and/or a cash donation with them to Play House Studios in Baltimore, BESS meetings and events, Black Rose meetings and events, the Baltimore TNG Happy Hours, the DC TNG Happy Hours and parties, the folks attending the party at Lucky Paul’s Castle, and everyone at the Annapolis Munch Group, The Crucible in DC, the Phoenix Bar on Biddle St in Baltimore, Chained Desires on Read St in Baltimore, and Textur Hair Salon on York Rd in Timonium, MD. Extra Special thanks to the Board of Directors and Members of the Black Rose for their $250 donation and to Jessi HolmanAhart, International Ms Leather 2005, who organized a big push through her workplace which collected over 125 toys.
Thanks again for your help in making the holidays brighter for these children again this year and big hugs,
Glenda
