I am going shopping > Rexroad.com

I'm going to need my own shopping mentor. I just sent Jenn an e-mail looking for help from her.

The line in there about needing "women" was probably because Cherie Schroeder knows I am allergic to shopping.

If you can help please e-mail her at cherie@yolofostercare.com.

Back-to-School Shopping Spree for 11 Foster Youth
Shopping Mentors and Sponsors Requested
NEW Woodland Target Store
August 6th, 2008 at 4:30 pm

We are planning a Back-to-School Shopping Spree for 11 Yolo County foster youth, 6 to 17 years-old living in our licensed County homes. Our shopping date is set for Wednesday evening August 6th at the new Woodland Target, meeting at 4:30 in the store lobby. Our goal is for each child to have a shopping mentor(s) to assist them with their purchases using a “wish list” created with the help of their foster parents. Shoppers will have an hour-and-a half to make their purchases before meeting back at the college between 6:15 to 6:30 for pizza and to share and show case purchases (a great self-esteem boost); foster parents will join us there.

Our seed money, $200 for each youth, is coming from our Woodland Community College Foster Care Foundation account; donations came by way of the Davis Kiwanis and Betty Merrill through her employer KP Corp. My hope is that each mentor will work with their employer or a service club to raise another $100 so that everyone has $300 to spend. Eleven youth are ready to shop, 9 girls and 2 boys. Currently Pam Miller, DESS Director and Matt Rexroad, YC Supervisor, are signed-on as shopping mentors ~ we need a few more of you, particularly women, to bring this project to fruition!
