Rather than bring gifts for the children, the staff requests that you bring arts and crafts items, e.g., spiral pads of drawing paper, crayons, colored pencils, etc. See the Russell Home website for a list of everyday supplies and other needs for the home. Anything is appreciated! Hope we can count on lots of CFCA Members to attend this function, the "kid's love to see the Corvettes drive up to the Home, the more the merrier!
