Arrow Families – Tomorrow, Tuesday, December 19, we will meet to pack the gift boxes for the Whitehouse Police and Fire Offices – we love our first responders!! Things to bring to “Pack the Baskets” – Homemade cookies are finally back on the favorite list after being taboo during Covid. Christmas Breads, cookies, snack mix – all make our first responders feel a little better working cold nights away from their families.  We have also included chapstick, dude wipes, lotion for chapped hands, beef jerky, nuts, candy bars, snack cakes, breakfast bars, and protein bars for a quick snack as they run out the door.  Pens are always useful.  I will have a large laundry basket or similar container and some tissue to tuck in…
