YAY FOOD DRIVE!!! :D

The Food Bank picked up the food today from the drive!! YAY!!! We had 15 full barrels! If you were unable to get your food in by yesterday (some businesses were closed like Yoga Path and the Ark) then drop those barrels/boxes off to my house and we'll weigh it and take it over to the food bank. Text me if you need my address.
THANKS EVERYONE!!!! You guys are awesome!!! We are Draper and don't you forget it! :)

Correction and Apology!!!

I am sorry for the confusion on my part! Scholarship applications are due Tuesday the 21st, I messed up. The application states the third Tuesday of December, which is the 21st. Again, turn them into an advisor or to City Hall.

It's a good thing Samantha Wright is smart and knows what is going on!


My apologies!!! Thanks for dealing with me all year. :)

FOOD DRIVE DUE TUESDAY AT 4

Hey Guys!! So on TUESDAY BY FOUR PM you need to have your barrel or box at VF Factory's back room. By 4 pm Tuesday, you've got to get your barrel or box out of the business, whether it has food or not (don't throw it in the business' garbage/recycle, that doesn't look good). Then, text, email, or call me and tell me that it's done, mission accomplished :)
Thanks for everything guys! You are awesome!!
Love Lots, Gilly! :D

Scholarship Applications are Due Tuesday!

This is a reminder the last day to turn in your scholarship applications to either an advisor or to City Hall is TUESDAY, DECEMBER 21st.


If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks,
Gwendolyn

DYC on Tuesday!

Hi Everyone!

I hope you are enjoying your break from school.

For DYC this Tuesday, we are finishing the food drive and having fun. Please be sure to deliver your food to VF Factory Mall before 4:00 PM Tuesday. Thanks to everyone who has helped with the food drive, you are incredible!

We will have our meeting from 5:30 - 7:00 PM in the Draper City Hall Chambers. We are going to play games, have a White Elephant exchange, and a cookie exchange. Please bring 1 dozen cookies to share and a white elephant gift that has either been previously loved or cost no more than $3.00 to buy.

It is going to be a great time. Marianne has great ideas for really fun games to play together. If you have friends who may be interested in joining DYC, feel free to have them join in the fun.

As always, if you are not able to make it, either let Samantha Wright or Sierra Maughan know in advance, or post in the comments of this blog.

Thanks!

Check Your Food Barrels!

Hey Kids! Don't forget to check your food barrels! When you have food, please
take it to the VF Factory Outlet--they have a spot for us in their back room.
All the employees know who we are and what's going on so just ask if you aren't sure.
Either put your food in one of the barrels there, or stack it nearby.
Gracias!
Gilly!
