Something being stripped completely bare usually
does not have positive connotations. However, when the thing being stripped
bare is the “to be wrapped” section of the part of center dedicated to the
Children’s Birthday Project, we can certainly live with it. This area, that
usually houses large bags full of unwrapped toys that will be wrapped before
being sent to the needy children we serve, has been stripped bare thanks to the
generosity of United Stationers of Carol Stream, who have donated their time
and wrapping paper to wrap gifts for 35 needy children in our project!United Stationers was initially penciled in to wrap gifts for 25 children, but when Dora McLin, the Local Transportation Manager at United Stationers who has graciously spearheaded their wrapping campaign, called in yesterday she thought, “what’s another ten bags?” Well let us tell you, with each bag containing 4-8 large gifts, 5-7 books, and numerous other smaller gifts, 10 bags is no short order, not to mention the 35 total that United Stationers has taken to wrap.
