News From Ivy Thimble

What a wonderful, GIVING weekend we had at Ivy Thimble!
Our 2011 Food Drive was OVER THE TOP successful!
We took in OVER 1000 POUNDS of food for our local food cupboards!!!
You all amazed us at how much you brought and how thoughtful the items were from canned goods, tuna fish, cereal, paper products to toothpaste! WOW! That’s all we can say!
As always….you made us PROUD!
