Scrap Girls SPECIAL Bushfire Appeals

I sent out a Newsletter to all my Scrap Girls customers this morning and thought i would put a copy of it here on my blog also..........................

SPECIAL
Bushfire Appeal Newsletter


Hi Everyone

As an Australian I am totally in awe of the generosity of our fellow countrymen.
Everywhere I have been this past week there has been some sort of collection for all those people in Victoria devastated by the fires.

Like most people, as a family we have donated money to the Red Cross to help, but feel this isn’t enough want to help more.
You’re inbox has probably filled up with emails of other ways to help just like mine. I have sifted through them and found 4 great ways to help and thought I’d pass them along to you. They are all very different and great ways that we as a scrapbooking community can help.

Thank you for letting me share these with you

Cheers
Kylie

PAMPER PACKS
Katrina Robertson, a Scrap Girls customer contacted me last night because she too feels the need to contribute in other ways.
Katrina came up with the idea of putting together Pamper Packs.
These pack could include :
Soap
Shampoo
Aftershave
Toothpaste
Hairbrush
Hairbands
Body lotion
Small toys (dolls, matchbox cars – so the kids don’t miss out either)
And any other pamper type items you think could be suitable.

The Victorian Pastor of the ACC (Australian Christian Churches or Assembly of God Church) lost their church in the fire and some members of their church.
This will be our starting point to distribute the packs as they also liaise with the chaplains in the area.

The team at Scrap Girls would love to help Katrina and am asking you to pick up an item or two when you visit COLES today (see below). I will collect the items on behalf of Katrina and deliver them to her so she can wrap them in cellophane and deliver to the people affected on behalf of us.
Tell your friends and family, school and sporting families, the more we get the better and more people we can give to.

Katrina will start putting packs together next weekend, but will collect goods up until our Scrap Girls March Cropfest (you can bring items along to the retreat too)
Please email ME or ring me so you can drop your items off to me or if you live about 30 minutes drive from the Mt Druitt area I’ll come and collect them during school hours.

KELLYVILLE PETS
It’s not just people affected by this disaster, but animals too as we have seen by those images of the burnt Koala’s.
I received an email this morning from Kellyville Pets and thought this was a way to help those animals. Here is what it said.
Bushfire Appeal – Animal Aid
We have made some enquires about how we can help, and luckily came into contact with Animal Aid in Coldstream Vic. They are in desperate need of all types of pet food, so we are donating by dry & canned stock. We will also be collecting both dry & canned dog/cat food in store. We will be collecting donations over the next week, and then shipping it off to the shelter.
If you’d prefer to donate to them directly, please visit their website
www.animalaid.com.au

Kellyville Pets is located at:
106B Windsor Road
Kellyville

Thanks again everyone for taking the time to let us share with you these Bushfire appeals
