Bless the Beasts & the Children

UPDATED 10-9-09 8:30AM

It's time to think (actually way past time) about the Holiday Season and what VISION VOICE VEG*N'z for the Brazos Valley can do to promote "good tidings to all." This is the time of year for giving, donating and taking care of those that are less fortunate then we. (although, I don't know why we don't have this spirit all year long...)

With this in mind, our group has a mission..... a vision, a focus...... an event to zero in on. I’m talking about the Bless the Beasts and the Children Holiday Drive Thru! You know, the song from the 1970’s Carpenter’s hit...... http://www.rhapsody.com/the-carpenters/gold-35th-anniversary-edition/bless-the-beasts-and-children/lyrics.html

Bless the beasts and the children
For in this world they have no voice

They have no choice

Bless the beasts and the children

For the world can never be

The world they see

Light their way when the darkness surrounds them

And give them love

let it shine all around them

Bless the beasts and the children

Give them shelter from the storm

Keep them safe, keep them warm

VISION VOICE VEG*N’z for the Brazos Valley is striving to host an annual donation drive to benefit the local rescue societies and Scotty’s House. Village Foods is the location for this drive thru. The target date is Saturday, the 12th of December from 8am till 5pm.

This event sets itself apart from KORA Radio MASH Toys for Tots and the Brazos Food Bank drive, in that we want items specifically for the local rescue societies and Scotty’s House. Some things might include:

Societies: food, dishes, bedding, crates,
Scotty’s House: clothes, toys, food, bedding

I am so very excited to have our first sponsor!! Village Foods is allowing us to use their parking lot for this event! AND have agreed to post some flyers in their store AND to put a flyer in one bag of each person that checks out! YAY!! I will provide all the posters and flyers. This is where we need printing services donated......

I am on a search for more sponsors.

*Maybe a possible radio remote at the site that day
*promotion-marketing-advertising
*a tent for us to stash the goods while loading in the trucks
*transportation... hopefully there will be lots of volunteers with trucks and or SUV’s

*printing for flyers etc

And of course, this will not be possible without YOUR help..... VOLUNTEERS!!! Please spread the word and gather friends, family and peers to volunteer for this cause-worthy event!

In addition to volunteers and sponsors, I am seeking your ideas, thoughts, and info to share and pursue. So, please...... let me hear from you :-)
