Are you ready to wrap?

This could be you!  A happy, smiling gift wrapper!

The cold weather has arrived and that can only mean one thing...well, maybe more than one thing.  But for us at Ontario ARC, it means our annual Holiday Gift Wrapping Booth is almost here!  While I truly enjoy all of the events we host throughout the year, the gift wrap booth holds a special place in my heart.  Last year, we had more than 400 volunteers donate their time and wrap presents at Eastview Mall in two locations -- in center court near J.Crew and by Macy's. The proceeds go towards our Pet Connections program, which has done incredible things for the people we support.

In addition to spreading the usual holiday cheer, our volunteers wrap gifts, help organize packages and my personal favorite -- decorate gifts with ribbons and bows.  People of all ages give their time -- from high school and college students, businesses and organizations (great team building activity!), service organizations and families and friends of Ontario ARC.  Their energy is amazing and their commitment is astounding.  We are very lucky to have them!

You can become a part of this group by contacting Margaret Post at 585-919-2241.  We still have some shifts left and times are flexible.  Give her a buzz today!

SHOUT OUT to our friends at Eastview Mall and Macy's!  Their support of the Holiday Gift Wrapping Booth and Ontario ARC is appreciated by everyone here.

See you at the booth!
