Get busy now on your design and make sure each member who comes to Convention has one! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . SERVICE PROJECTSThis year we are planning several service projects. Plan a fund-raiser specifically to help you earn money to purchase items for the following two projects: Books and Toys for Tots - Every convention attendee should plan on bringing either a children's book or a toy for distribution to St. Louis area hospitals and/or shelters. Personal Products for the Homeless- We are planning on taking personal items to homeless shelters in the area. So gather together items like toothpaste/brushes, disposable razors, soap, deodorant, shampoo, etc. and bring to convention for distribution. Other possible service projects include a blood drive and cleaning up a local neighborhood. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . OUT AND ABOUT Friday evening is TOTALLY FREE TIME! Shop.
