AICR is organizing a Christmas party for the ill children at the Casa di Kim, via di Villa Troili 46, as part of its Community Service Initiative on Saturday afternoon, December 7th from 2 to 5 p.m. It will take the combined efforts of the Board, membership and management to make it successful and we urge you to take part.

We hope you and your friends and family can join in the party and /or make a monetary donation. With your donations, we'll provide gifts, food, beverages and a festive atmosphere for these ill children, their families and the staff that support them.

We plan to bring a gift for each child and mother at the Casa di Kim. This year AICR is once again asking for monetary donations only, rather than wrapped gifts, to ensure the gifts are of equal value.

Please take a look at the gifts listed below, and how the raised funds will be distributed. Here is the WISH LIST:

**Each child will receive one personal gift (A total of 13 gifts). We will receive the list of names/ages later this month. To make it fair for all, a suggested sponsorship is in the range of 15-20 euro.

**Party expenses. For food, drinks, games and crafts for the children. Suggested donations of 5 to 20 euro.

**A small gift for each mother, such as body lotion, scarf, etc. (A total of 13 mothers). Suggested donation: 10 euro

If you would like to donate, the Club will accept wire transfers and Paypal.

You can also leave a donation at the AICR Thanksgiving Dinner and the AICR Happy Hour on December 6th.

AICR needs to transport gifts, drinks, party supplies and people out to Casa di Kim. If you are planning on going to the party on the 7th with a car and can spare space for either gifts, party supplies or people, please let the office know.
