Leadership Conference Service Project

I thought I would share something new we did at Leadership. Shelli is always reminding us to help others through service. This year Stampin’ Up! invited us to help with a service project that would benefit local (Orlando) teachers. I am always to help others whenever possible so headed directly up to the 4th floor to help in any way I could. As we entered we were greeted by several different Stampin’ Up! employees eager to share this wonderful project! This is what we saw..

The room where we did our service project during Leadership in Orlando Florida

There were 6 lines of tables extending from the front of the room to the back of the room.

Here is Sarah Douglas thanking Valerie Gray for helping with the service project and then she proceeded to explain what the service project was and what we needed to do.

We were to take one of our “green”, reusable bags and fill it up with the product that was in each box. At the end we were to attach a tag and were told we could write a little note on it and sign our name and the state we were from if we chose to.

I am sure you are thinking- what was in those boxes. Here is what I remember- each bag got our english and spanish catalog, an on board chipboard pack, an In-Color paper pack, 3 different packages of Simply Sent card kits, a journal book, 5 ink pads, 7 or 8 Stampin’ Write markers, a package of In-Color Stampin’ Write markers, 2 packages of rhinestone brads, 3 different spools of ribbon,a MDS CD and I can’t remember what else. Here is a picture of one of my long distant friends, Ann Clemer helping fill bags.

I was told that there were 2000 bags that would hold a total of $750,000.00 + in product. These were going to be given to 135 local Orlando schools for grades Kindergarten through 3rd grade. I told you Stampin’ Up! is an awesome company!!

Here are few more pictures of this service project I thought I would share.
