It seems very early to be talking about Christmas but Halloween is just 3 weeks away. Thanksgiving follows quickly. The traditional date for the Little Shoppers is the first Saturday in December. A list has been published for items needed. This event allows youngsters to choose gifts for their loved ones. Wrapping of the gifts is an added feature.
Donated items can be delivered to Lorber Insurance Agency. The Holiday Stroll Committee can then take them to Clark for display and purchase. Gifts for men, women and children of all ages are appropriate.
The list includes home décor, throw blankets, gift cards, coffee mugs, jewelry, books, little figurines, candles, body soap (unopened), makeup (unopened), body spray (unopened), cooking/baking items, Christmas décor, homemade crafts, sporting goods, fishing tackle, camping gear, wall art, coloring book sets and toys for all ages.
Every donation possible will help make a Merry Christmas for the New London community.
