SUMMARY:SOCKS 4 SENIORS
DESCRIPTION:Socks 4 Seniors\n\nThis year the Chamber of Commerce will be sponsoring a new initiative\, Socks 4 Seniors\, and we need YOU to help make this event one that will put smiles on the faces and warm the hearts and toes of many of our seniors.  \n\nThere is a National campaign which is a non-profit community service project that helps senior citizens living in Nursing homes\, which helps to bring some Holiday cheer and covers the feet of many of our elderly seniors.  We are going to register with them and share what we are doing here\, locally in Okeechobee.\n\nWe are asking YOU to get involved today by purchasing NEW socks\, preferably bright colored\, funny patterns\, Christmas designs and that they be ped\, mid or crew length.  (They MUST be NEW socks)  PREFERABLY those with a Non-skid backing on them....no slipping and sliding that way.  We've only received a few with the Non-skid backing and those are the ones most in need at this time.\n\nQuoting a 91 year old nursing home resident  "We're just old\, not dead and we still have a sense of humor!"  So\, go ahead and purchase those fuzzy\, warm\, colorful\, silly\, funky and funnier patterned socks and drop them off here at the Chamber.  \n\nWe will then package them in groups of 2 or 4 (preferably) with colored ribbons and we will then take them to our senior facilities.  If you would like to help in placing the colored ribbons on the sets\, please let me know and we'll be thrilled for the help.  The deadline to receive socks will be Friday\, December 20th so that we have time to deliver them before Christmas.\n\nRemember\, the holidays are a fun time and the friendliest and most giving time of the year.  But\, for some it can also be lonely and depressing and many times our seniors can get lost in the hustle and bustle.  Let's get busy\, put our best foot forward and I can't wait to see how our community gives to those that are worth more than just a pair of socks!...don't you think?
