Has anyone noticed the RED boxes in all of the Recreation Centers in The Villages? The 5th Annual Pajama/Book Drive has begun. This event is sponsored by The Villages Girl Scout Alumnae -- Silver Trefoil in conjunction with the Sumter/Lake County United Way and the Marion County United Way. Our goal is to collect 5000 new, unwrapped pajamas and 2500 new, unwrapped books from October 1-December 12 to give to the 5200 homeless children of Lake, Sumter and Marion counties. Your support will mean a homeless child will carry with them, as they move from place to place, a possession we think of as common place, but something they may not have. The next time you have the opportunity to enter one of our recreation centers, please consider putting a set of pajamas or a book in the RED box. It's a feel good thing to do.Thanks.
