The shopping's done. The wrapping will happen today. But there is a third part to Farmington Rotary's involvement in Armful of Love (Well, four if you count just straight-up giving them money, but let's simplify, OK?): The volunteering.
Our club has been signed up for a shift from 11:45 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, Dec. 11. We need at least eight people to fulfill our obligation, so your presence would be much appreciated. I mean, your presence would probably be appreciated anyway because of your wit and good looks, but this time it will also be appreciated in a help-us-not-look-like-chumps way.
It will be our job to distribute gifts to the families that come in to receive them. It's pretty rewarding.
Distribution will take place at 2300 West Highway 13 in Burnsville, next to Menards. It's the shopjimmy.com warehouse.
Anika has asked me tell you wear comfortable shoes and bring warm coat/hat/gloves. But, you know what? She's not the boss of you. If you want to wear stilettos and a mesh tank top to carry gifts out to people's cars, then who is she to tell you no?
Anyway, if you can take part you should probably let Anika know.
