CUJWC: Working 2gether
+ 2 serve

a better community
Dear Club
Friends:
Happy New
Year! I hope that you have all had an
enjoyable holiday season. I know that
club did help brighten the lives of others with the dozens upon dozens of
cookies that we sent to DSC for their holiday party as well as the DVD’s that
were sent to The Crisis Nursery. I want
to thank you all for your acts of kindness that make Champaign-Urbana a better
community.
Although the
temperature outside is plummeting, things are heating up for CUJWC as we dive
into the busy time of year known as The
Countdown to Tom Thumb Theatre!
Rehearsals have begun, costumes are in the works, set designs are being
planned, lines are being learned, and we are all beginning to hum the tunes of
the songs that will be so familiar to us all by March! I do have a plea to everyone to make a giant
push for ad sales and raffle donations.
Although we do make funds from ticket sales, a large portion of our
profit comes from ads and raffle ticket sales.
We need everyone to take this responsibility to heart.
Even though
this is officially Tom Thumb season, we must not forget our commitment to our
other projects as we continue to provide snacks for Crisis Nursery and food for
Healthy Young Families. Be sure to sign
up at dinner meeting to help with these very worthwhile projects. In the words of Elphaba from Wicked, “Think of
what we could do – together.”
