Sir Winston Churchill BOXHOLDER On Friday, March 22nd, Bryce Valley FCCLA donated 60 Baby Bundles to the Garfield Memorial Hospital. Cajun Syrett and Alexis Tebbs organized a service project for their Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) chapter. Cajun and Alexis presented these bundles to DeAnne Brown at the hospital. Their project was to make receiving blankets and gather baby supplies and make them into bundles. They asked for donations from many businesses in the Garfield County community. Because of the donations, they were able to make 60 bundles to be given to the new babies that are born in the Garfield Memorial Hospital this year. DeAnne and the staff were very happy to receive these bundles. Cajun, Alexis, along with family and members of the Bryce Valley FCCLA have put a lot of time into this project. They hope that the "Baby Bundles" are received by future babies with love. Cajun and Alexis expressed their appreciation for the hospital's love and concern given to their families as most of their brothers and sisters (as well as themselves) were born at this hospital. ^ ^ ^ A ^ l M f ^^^ »Multimeao snapshot@scinternet.net Phone: PRE-SORT STANDARD Fax 435-83fr.2700 PAID po BOX 472 LOA, UTAH Loa u t a h 8 4 7 4 7 < PERMIT No. 5 THE GARFIELD COUNTY INSIDER is owned and operated by Snapshot Multimedia and distributed weekly to all of Garfield County .
