Beanie Babies


When Connie, our President, received a call that a woman who collects beanie babies was looking to donate them to an organization that could distribute them, said, "We'd be happy to."  We were. We were also surprised that there were hundreds and hundreds.  So, we got to work.

Fifty to Evergreen Health & Living Center
Twelve to SOS
Twenty-four to Camp Casey
Thirty-six to Baby Basics
Three hundred to Project Linus
Seventy for Winter Warmers
Two hundred to an orphanage in Nashville

We've made a dent. But some of us are beginning to think that they are multiplying in our cars.  Picture shows this writer's trunk and she is convinced that they are coming out of the containers and doing goodness knows what.

Even so, we are thankful and know that our beanie babies will provide comfort to hundreds of little ones.
