To The Editor:
This letter is addressed to:
Dear Mad River residents,
My name is Kyle Dash and I'm a Boy Scout of Troop 700 in Waitsfield. I am currently working on my Eagle project and I need some help performing it. My project is collecting and donating shoes and books to people in Rwanda through a class program at Harwood Union High School. I am looking for shoes that are designed for mountain-like terrain and/or can sustain a lot of wear and tear that are still useable and don't have any holes. Types of books that I'm looking for are educational books for school and learning.
My goal for collecting shoes is about 200 pairs and my goal for collecting books is about 300 books. Any donations would be very appreciated.
Here is a list of books and shoes that I am looking for as a helpful guide: Shoes: sizes toddler-11 in each gender; sneakers, hiking shoes/boots, shoes that revolve around summer, tennis, sandals, Crocs, other shoes that have good traction.
Books: text books, English related books (Shakespeare, for example), dictionaries, encyclopedias, picture books, chapter reading books (grade levels 5-10, literature/English beneficial that are appropriate, have no romance in them, are not comics books, magazines, and are public school appropriate).
Locations to drop off your donations would be at the Fayston, Warren, Waitsfield and Moretown elementary schools and at Harwood Union High School. There will be two boxes labeled each with information on flyers at each school and there will be signs giving directions to where the drop-off is.
Donating will begin on Wednesday, September 24, at 8 a.m. and will end on Friday, October 24, at 7 p.m. at the latest. So, if you have any books and shoes and you are thinking about donating them, please don't wait until the last minute and make sure to mark your calendars. Thank you for your time and effort in making this Eagle project happen. Once again, thank you.
Kyle Dash, Life Scout
