The Delta Artists Society is a nonprofit organization of individuals joining together to encourage and interest in and an appreciation of the visual arts.
As previous mention in the November Newsletter, for our charitable project for this year, DAS members are asked to decorated and fell shoe box size boxes for residents of the 8th street Mission. Since the mission can house up to 41 men and 8 women, each DAS member is asked to decorate three boxes and to also purchase toiletry-type items to fill the boxes. ( Suggested items are: disposable razors, shaving cream, bars of soap, deodorant, combs, lotions, etc and also individually wrapped hard candy.)(Cold remedies and any products containing alcohol are not acceptable.) DAS will pay up to one-half of the price of the toilet items.) The Dollar Tree was mentioned as a good source of the toiletry items. Also, please bring a Christmas card to include in each box.
Members are asked to bring the decorated boxes and the purchased items to the Delta Arts Office at 3:00 on Sunday, December 5th, where the boxes will be filled. It should be designated on the “outside” of each box whether it is a suitable gift for a male or female recipient.
The filled boxes will be delivered to the 8th street mission in the time for Christmas.
