Suggested Magi Gift Box Contents (any of these):

1)  socks (all sizes);  2) basic $10.--$15. shoes;  3) toys for kids; 4) T-shirts (all sizes); 5) school supplies;  6) back packs;  7) baseball hats;  8) hard hand soaps;  9) hand towels and wash cloths.  If you throw in any candy, it must be hard candy, each item wrapped.  The “Large” U.S. Postal Service Priority Mail Box (12 in. x 12 in. x 6 in.) is about $20 to mail, + $2.00 to insure. (approx.)

Your letter to the family: Tito requests that you write it in Spanish.  (Beti & René or Carol & Henry can help, if needed.)  CVX - PR will add a family’s name to PKG, once they have identified the families.  Begin with “Queridos amigos” or “Queridos hermanos” or “Querida familia” and leave a space for CVX volunteers to write in the family’s name.    

School Supplies: Tito has requested pencils, ballpoint pens (red, blue, black), erasers, pencil sharpeners, pencil bags, colored pencils, crayons, coloring books, notebooks, and paper clips. 

Contact Carol:  Please let Carol González  know you are mailing a Priority Mail Box (Gift Box) to our Sisters and Brothers in Puerto Rico and the date you mail it, so she can keep track.  (It does not have to arrive by Christmas, but by Jan. 6 (Epiphany) would be nice!  Arrival date is not as important as just sending a box with your love!)  :-)
