Greg, please send this out to the Seekers Class ASAP. Thanks for your help.
 
The Pickens Family, the family that the Mission Building Team built a 
deck for the Dad Dave, needs our help this Christmas. I emailed Tamera 
and Dave earlier asking how the Mission Team could be a part of their 
Christmas. Excepts from Dave's email at the end.
 
This morning the class voted to spend $500 on the family. Some of the 
$500 will buy a Wii System, the email will explain, and a small sewing 
machine for Brittany. I am going to try to order both of them through 
Amazon tomorrow and have them shipped to their home. If at all possible, 
we would like to get the remaining items purchased and wrapped by 
Thursday so we could take them with us Friday. Gail Sink graciously 
volunteered to shop for items during the day. Is anyone else is willing 
to go with her and help? I have purchased one bra. I will be out of 
pocket Tuesday and Wednesday for a business trip. I would be available 
again about 6:30 Wednesday, i.e. as soon as I get home from the airport.
 
In the email, I am asking Gail to take the lead. Give Gail a call if you 
are willing to assist until I return. I will touch base with Gail 
Wednesday night and see where I need to pick up and help. My number at 
work is 661-4239.
 
I am going to share Dave's email with Randy to see if his part of our 
team would like to help.
 
Dave said Michael could use:
 

Boy?s boxer underwear, Size 8-10

Winter shoes, size boy?s 3?s

Bocks ? long boys, size for size feet of shoe size 3

Jeans, size 10 reg., with medium waist

Toys he would like are: Aqua Beads, Legos, Bakugons, andTransformer 
?Bumble Bee?

 

Said Brittany coud use: 

 

Boy?s boxer briefs for girls, size 7

Bras 36DD for young women

Shoes for winter, 6.5 ? 7

Socks for this shoe size

 

Small sewing machine, sewing supplies, and cloth

 

Family = A Wii system
