Shopping for Aunt Martha's:  Nov 30, 2021

Members Lisa Glancy & Jessie Senese had a blast hitting all the Black Friday deals to buy the best and most for the Children of Aunt Martha's. 

They set out to buy gifts for the teens.  It's easy to buy gifts for the young kids but the teens get overlooked and are harder to buy for.  

Great job girls! You are making many 10-17 year olds smile this Holiday Season!

Thank you to all the SSL members who came together and helped wrap all these gifts!
