June, 2012<\/p>\n

Thank you for your interest in our Romanian Christmas Box mission.\u00a0 This year we would like to send over 2,000 boxes to these special children.\u00a0 To prepare for the Fall 2012 shipment, we are offering suggestions to ensure every child receives a box filled to the brim with age appropriate toys and necessities.\u00a0\u00a0 Also, each age group list will be printed separately so you can easily copy the list for distribution.<\/p>\n

Please use a plastic shoebox sized storage box with lid.\u00a0 Due to Romanian customs, do not wrap it, tape it shut or write on the box.\u00a0 Heavy duty rubber bands work well.\u00a0 Please include a small baggie of candies in each box.<\/p>\n

Please do not include the following items:\u00a0 anything previously used, clothes (except infants), toys requiring batteries, English language books, washcloths (except infants) or soap.<\/p>\n

It is never too early to begin shopping.\u00a0\u00a0 Now is the time of year to buy up all the gloves and hats you can find!\u00a0\u00a0 They should be on sale and won\u2019t be available again in stores until late September or October, often too late to include in your box.\u00a0 Many stores are discounting dolls and toys this time of year as a result of Christmas overstock.\u00a0 Also on sale are coloring books and crayons.<\/p>\n
