Wish List

We are going to be blessed with visitors next month, and they have offered to bring some items with them for us! Even though we are going to be back in America during the summer, we are hoping to stock pile some supplies that can stay here while we are gone (or eat them immediately).

So here is a wishlist. We would be so grateful for anything on this list, new or used. Especially used, well except the food and toiletries. See below for details on how to donate.
  • Shampoo
  • Conditioner
  • Deodorant (stick) - men's or women's, scented
  • High DEET bug spray
  • band aids
  • hydrogen peroxide contact lens cleaner (such as Clear Care)
  • saline for contacts
  • Gift Bags (any size)
  • Blank note cards with envelopes
  • Small birthday presents (Legos, Littlest Pet Shop, Earrings, etc.) - we know some are coming!
  • Hand towels - kitchen or bath
  • Bedsheet sets (queen, double, twin)
  • 2 used white sheets (for movie screens!)
  • Pillow cases
  • Beach Towels
  • Swim Goggles
  • Swim Caps
  • cookie sheet
  • bundt pan
  • saucepans
  • metal mixing bowls
  • melamine/plastic dinner plates
  • meat thermometer
  • men size 10 soccer cleats
  • girl size 3 soccer cleats
  • boy size 3 soccer cleats
  • women's size 6 or 8 Capris
  • basketball
  • sweatband (adult male)
  • Starbucks iced coffee packets (some found!)
  • black beans (dried)
  • taco seasoning
  • canister parmesan cheese
  • and any packaged snacks (cookies, fruit snacks, goldfish)!
If you would like to get us any of these things, you can bring them to Ridgewood Christian Reformed Church, 271 Lincoln Ave, Ridgewood NJ. They'll collect them and get them to our guests. If you know Rachel Barrett or her family, you could bring it to them too. Also, if you are planning to donate, perhaps you could send us a message, so that we could update the list (and avoid getting 10 sweatbands, though that would be awesome). The due date is May 31.

    I will be having a cooking class on how to make Chicken Franchaise and how to make Swiss Steak . If you would like to capitalize on this, we could do this as a fundraiser. Just let me know if we could use the kitchen at Ridgewood CRC, or whatever.

    thanks for the ideas Gwen! Just one basketball...the kids and I need some practice, and we actually have access to a hoop! We don't need boxes, everything needs to be squeezed into a suitcase (so maybe we won't get everything on our list!) The cooking class sounds great, but you'd have to contact Ridgewood about the kitchen. We are doing fine on fundraising for this year...next year we'll need some help again! --tim
