Ok I have a suitcase filled that these wonderful folks are going to bring to Heather.......still have at least two more suitcases I can fill if there are some other willing mules in the Chicago/Rockford/Milwaukee area.

Just wanted to bump this up as a reminder for peeps heading to Playa of the great work Angel Notion does.

We loaded up on toys to bring last weekend and hope others will support this cause to the extent they are able as well.

I was reading your mind... was about to bump this up too! This is a very worthwhile cause and a great reminder for all who will be travelling to Playa soon!

Thanks guys for bumping this up! I have some puzzles packed this year... I wonder how those will go over?

norml · 12-03-2008

We're bringing some puzzels this year for the first time also. I think the kids will like them and keeping them entertained for a while should go over good with the parents. That's what we're hoping anyway. Only a matter of time 'til pieces start getting lost just like when we were kids.

mommy dearest · 12-07-2008

Today I dropped off my suitcase full of clothers and toys that Norm is bringing down to Playa so graciously for me.Thanks Norm, for taking this down, I hate to call you a "mule" cause it makes you sound stubborn, so I will just say you are an angel for doing this!It takes some awesome people to tote an extra suitcase down there and deal with dragging it all around, but I can guarantee that the warm feeling they are going to get from knowing that it goes to put a smile on the faces of some kids that dont' have much of anything, will last them thru the holiday season!
soooo.....that said , I still have 2 or 3 more suitcase full of stuff that can go down there, at any time, even after the holidays.I can keep em coming , as long as there are kindly people to mule them down!PM me any ole time!

Exactly.

Thank you for helping my mom in her quest to make poor parents and kids happy! She's wonderful and so are you! Please let me know where you will be, so I can come to pick up the suitcase from you.

We'd be happy to deliver the bag. We could bring it if you're working at a drop off point again this year, say Thursday night or when ever. Otherwise we'll be on the beach at Playa Maya all day Friday. Also at the Tequilla Barrell for the parade Friday night and then to PGs. I'll pm you my cell # in case we can't figure it out before we get down there. Also your mom told me she was including a little something to use to buy you a "refreshment" not that she would have had to do it. We would of anyway.

The Angel Notion tree is set up at the Tequila Barrel

Livenenplaya · 12-17-2008

Thanks, we saw the tree, but there were no gifts under it or the one in the plaza, so we thought we might be too late to drop the items off. We will go to the Tequila Barrel tonight or tomorrow.

Michele · 12-19-2008

Hi all! The trees are being manned by volunteers every day from 5pm to 9pm. We are collected unwrapped toys and monetary donations. I am working again tomorrow at the tree at the Tequila Barrel from 5pm until 7pm. Come on down and support us.

Here is some more info including a personal message from Lavonna Redman and a few pics from last night.
