Update on Beanie Babies

Well, I can't believe it, but almost all the beanies have been delivered.

As of today, 11/24/08 we have dropped off:

100 to Special Olympics Oregon (I heard they loved them)
200 to Birth Support Network
300 to OutsideIn
300 to YWCA Yolanda House

I should admit that I did spread a few around to the neighbor kids, but I don't think it will effect the tally too much ;-)

That leaves only the ones to the elementary school left.

Whew, I'm exhausted!

Holy Moley!

We we received an amazing gift from a wonderful woman named Janis Cameron this weekend, 1200 beanie babies!!!

Mrs. Cameron's late husband collected them for over 10 years and after he passed away, she decided to donate his collection to us.

Since there are far too many beanie babies to donate to just Outside In and Yolanda House, we are divvying up the stuffed animals as follows:


200 to Birth Support Network (for distribution to the Children's Relief Nursery)

300 to Outside In

300 to YWCA Yolanda House

100 to Special Olympics Oregon

300 to Indian Hills Elementary School
