ASAP Christmas Project
My quilt bee decorated a tree for the ASAP Christmas Project this year. ASAP is Assistance for School Aged Parents and is a program which helps high school mothers stay in school to finish their education. Our guild supports this program and some of the bees sponsor a mother for Christmas. This was a fun project - buying clothes and toys for a 15 month old boy. The mother will receive the tree at a party on Dec. 14th. In some cases, this may be the only tree the family has and the only gifts the child will receive. I purchased a couple of Elmo toys yesterday and they scared me to death. I was driving along when one of them started making a noise that sounded a lot like a police siren. Thankfully, I did not have a wreck but I sure was startled for a moment.
