Lukes Eagle Project

As I think most of you know, Luke has been working on his Eagle Scout Service Project, and I am happy and proud to announce that it is done! Here are a few pictures of some of the events that took place to help this all come together. I think we were able to get some cute things for the stockings: Webkinz, coloring book and crayons, book, gloves, and other goodies for the kids. Socks, lotion, nail kit and polish, journal and pen, large candy bar, gum, and lipgloss for the women. After we had collected everything to go in the stockings, Luke had a few friends over to help put the stockings together. After we delivered the stockings, we even had some money left over thanks for the generous donations from so many people! We were able to head to Wal Mart and get several $20 gift cards to donate to the women in the shelter. We were never able to see any of the women and children that were to receive the gifts.. . . they are quite protective of the residents there. But this has been such a fun and rewarding experience! now Luke just needs to finish his paperwork and soon we will be holding a court of honor!!
