Grandma's Closet
We're all looking forward to hosting our friends and families
for those unforgettable visits. We have been very busy helping our
neighbors better host their kiddies. It should come as no surprise
that some of the items in Grandma's Closet are very popular. We
suggest lining up reservations as soon as you have your guests'
itineraries. You don't want to be caught short-handed, especially
where those precious little ones are concerned. If anyone needs
some items for the baby or little kids to better accommodate them,
Grandma's Closet may be just the ticket!
We keep a list of people who have items to loan, their contact
information, as well as with the items they wish to share. When
someone inquires about borrowing items, we'll supply the list, and
the donor and recipient can work out the details.
We offer these loans to be used by our residents for our visiting
grandchildren. The borrowed items are not to be taken out of the
village and used elsewhere or by anyone other than the borrower.
If you have items you wish to loan out (strollers, car seats, carriers,
Pack'n'Plays, high chairs, books, toys, games, puzzles, etc.), send an
email to Naomi (NaomiBKatz@iCloud.com) and/or Rich (redcisc@
gmail.com), enumerating those items and age-appropriateness,
along with your name, address, phone numbers and email address.
That information will be added to the list.
If you find yourself in need of an item or two, please let Rich
or me know, and we will forward the list to you. If your visiting
grandchildren have left behind items you won't be needing for a
while, consider offering them for loan at Grandma's Closet.
If you have any items of clothing or furniture for babies or children
which you can't store or use, please let us know. We will gladly pick
up the items and bring them to Father Joe's Village, which is always
in desperate need.
Thank you so much for your attention and anticipated assistance.
Your continued generosity and support are truly appreciated. ~
Naomi B Katz and Rich Halkyard
