WPS Fine Arts Gives Back to Our Community
Fine Arts Elves Needed to Help Assemble Christmas Stockings for Children in Need. If you are available please join us on Saturday, December 15 from 3-5PM
At The Brand Residence (Keene’s Point) 6106 Blakeford Drive, Windermere, Florida 34786

Over the years the recipients of the stockings and packages put together have included children in families who are struggling with the very high cost of mental or physical illness of a family member, homeless children including children who live with all family members and their belongings in a single room in a dilapidated hotel, children with an incarcerated parent, students at Mollie Rae Elementary, and children who are in foster care. These children live in Orange and Osceola County and in many cases, their parents work very hard but struggle just to provide basic necessities.

Please E-mail Lori Brand at ubsinc@aol.com if you are available to join us so that I can give the gate your name. You can get community service hours for your effort. If you have any other questions you can also contact Lori Brand at 407-721-1665.
