I agree so much if you can pass this link on to any one you know it would be great, they need 30,000 stocking by November 1st and are only 1/2 way .... I got a email today from them and i was told if the stocking are a couple days that that will be ok.

Ok, I just signed up my kids in my sewing program to make 50 stockings! I am beginning my program next week at our local boys and girls club, but this week is open sewing for returning students and this is our project and purpose. Everyone is very excited about it!

Ok, we're done...we made 78, but only had three girls doing them! they did a great job, and I'll post some pics soon. Now all I have to do is ship them...but where do I ship them to? There are so many addresses on the site, I can't figure it out. I've called, no one picks up. I want to ship them today! Does anyone know?

What you did was correct and will make a troop very happen. you can do it like that or send in just stocking or the items..

Thanks for helping
