Week 7 Challenge

kevbro/hughesbrown - unlined sketch pads (5)

smp8330 - 5 decks of cards

I'll take care of the glitter glue (at least 5)

****Important***

I have created two new discussion topics on Facebook for this challenge.

The topic "Team Challenge" is for claiming the item you will be bringing in. ***Only reply with the item and quantity here.***

The second Topic "Questions/Comments: Team Challenge" Is specifically for just that.

This should help keep the challenge organized, and will be easier to look at the "Team Challenge" thread and see what items have yet to be claimed.

Thanks!

I'll contribute markers (5 packs) I also posted on facebook

Not everyone does facebook. Can we keep posting here, too, please?

For anybody that doesn't have Facebook, please post here and make a comment so that I can post the item on Facebook. Thanks!

I'll get a game cube or PS2 game.

I'll get the craft kits- at least 5 of them.

firelilly, knottypine, firewood:

vairety of $1 non-holiday craft kits, velvet posters, balsa wood dolls, etc (15 or so)

I do not think we should limit ourselves to the count on the charity list. Of course, we need to make sure we cover all the items. I encourage every Tree to participate in donating what they can. Let's show them the generosity of the Trees!

I'll get a PS2 game and a couple of other odds and ends.

Sorry, I do not have Facebook.

I am also going to get play dough(5 packs). I posted this on FB as well.

I agree we shouldn't feel limited by the numbers on the list. We have lots of players, so why not tory to double or even tripple the numbers suggested? But we need to make sure that we have at least the minimum items on the list...

I did get a PS2 game, and my husband (jmink) got a Game Cube game.

The other thing is, there's no limit on other donations, either, so if you have anything on the Foodlink or Wilson Park wishlists, defintely add that to the bounty.

I'm well over the amount of debit I should have at this point in the academic quarter, so I swung by Sol's at RIT. Not really geared for children, but I did manage to find decks of cards and fat markers. Bought three packs of each. I know we've got that part covered, but I wanted to help out, and I'd have to go off campus to buy matchbox cars. I think that's the only thing we need now.

matchbox cars (5)

Anybody going on Wednesday that can take our donation as well? I work on Wednesday 4pm til Thursday so wont be able to make it.

we sstill need fun pads, 1/2 sized non-holiday. We have the minimum for everything else but as the largest faction we can do better :)

I did get a PS2 game - 3 actually - I found a Pac Man game set. They look like they will be fun.

You can find fun pads at Dollar Stores, usually.

@ flamingo I can take your donation. Send me a message and we'll figure out where/when to do a hand-off.

I live in Henrietta and my husband works at RIT. I would be glad to make deliveries. I hope my sign up link allows folks to contact me through email. I am not on Facebook and will post anything I buy here.

I have 5 matchbox cars and a 10 pack (small ones) of Playdoh.

Great job Trees! After looking at the Facebook group and this thread, it looks like we almost have everything we need! Here is the list of what we have so far:

(5) Unlined sketch pads
(5+) decks of cards
(5) glitter glue
(5+) Marker packs
(5) bubbles
(1) game cube game
(4) PS2 games
(5) Craft kits
(15) Variety of $1 non-holiday craft kits, velvet posters, balsa wood dolls, etc
(15+) Play dough packs
(20) Matchbox cars
Doodle pads and some activity pads

I believe we still need one more gamecube game, other than that, we have abundance of items! :) The more the better!

I picked up 5 1/2 sized fun pads and 7 dollar craft items but I could not find a gamecube game. The kid at Walmart said they are not made anymore! Anyone else have luck finding one more gamecube game?

You can usually find used GameCube games at Gamestop, eb games (both at the Mall) or Heckle and Jeckle (a collectible store in Chili-Paul plaza)

I will look for a game cube game Wednesday at the Game stop in Canandaigua.

I just got 2 gamecube games at the game stop at Marketplace mall. I posted this on facebook also.

awesome job guys-we have everything now. Now how far over the minimum can we go?

I'll pick up a PS2 game and a Gamecube game. We'll also be bringing a little of everything else on the list.

I'm looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow!

Here's what our contact from Golisano told us today:

"Our Child Life program director will be representing the hospital tomorrow night at the item drop off at RIT. Her name is Wendy Lane and she's the one who helped us put together the list. The Child Life program and its staff tend to the developmental needs of our patients and families, which much of the time means making sure they still feel like kids despite the reason they're here. Which is why these items are so wonderful. "

I found the Madden 08 at Game Stop and will be bringing that tonight.
