Message from the
Director of
Activites at the NJ Eastern Star Home
Hello everyone,
I am writing to
you regarding some items that the residents are asking for this
month's Boutique which will be hosted on 6/30/2021. Maybe you can help
spread the word around to see if anyone would like to make some
donations! Some of the items they are looking for are Shirts, men &
women, ties, hats, watches, and most importantly YARN! The
residents basically wiped us out of all the donated/purchased yarn at
last month's store. Some of the ladies were asking to see some
makeup like powders and brushes. Word Search Puzzles and the Sudoku
Puzzles are in high demand also. Many of them do not care for
cross word puzzles. As always, any donations are greatly
appreciated. Thanks for your time. Kindly, Ashley MolnarDirector of Activities New Jersey Eastern Star Home 111 Finderne Ave, Bridgewater, NJ 08807 Phone 908-722-4140 ext. 3527 |
