Holiday Gift Wrapping Project 2012

As in previous years, Barnes and Noble will be providing the required materials, we provide the manpower. We are really, REALLY going to need YOUR help with this project this year. Please volunteer early and often. Project Manager Julie also asks that you please only volunteer for shifts that you are actually going to work. Volunteers backing out at the last instant is the #1 best way to KILL THE EVENT.

We will also be holding a Wrapping Seminar event before the Wrapping Project begins. The date, time, and location all have yet to be established. The purpose of this seminar is to let those who are really good at wrapping a neat package, assist those who aren't so gifted. Gift wrapping is a skill like any other and can be taught to any willing and dedicated student. :)

Event Manager Julie Rickard has secured the following dates and times for us to be there:

Ladies and Gentlemen of DedEx and the BortaS,

I want to take this opportunity, before Julie posts her final reports and thank you list, to thank each and every one of you. Those of you who made it out to the events made them successful. Those of you who were unable due to health concerns, as well as those of you who were just too remotely located to be able to participate directly, you do what you can do and your moral support and suggestions have been deeply appreciated.

As OIC of the 225th, I also want to thank Brigadier Julie Rickard, the Project Manager, for her continued hard work, diligence, dedication, and effectiveness. Her leadership made this event the most successful such event held by us to date.

Thank you all, and I wish you the very Merriest of Christmases and Happiest of New Years.
