Keeping People Warm This Winter

Hat Donations from Volunteers

Our volunteers do more than just answer phones, serve and sort food. We had a wonderful donation of 30+ hats last week from volunteers. These hats were handmade, knitted caps for men, women and children. They were beautifully crafted using various colors of yarn. Each hat had it own design and were original in nature.

The hats were distributed to those in need and are currently keeping many heads warm. The IFC community welcomed the donation. Staff members sorted through the beautiful hats and distributed them with the same love and care in which they were designed.

Many thanks to the gracious donors and to all our volunteers. Thank you!!!

Perks for IFC Volunteers

Did you know that if you are an active volunteer at the IFC you qualify for tickets at Playmakers Repertory Company? According to American Theatre Magazine, Playmakers is “One of America’s leading theatre companies.” This theatre is in our own backyard and the talent is amazing. There are various performances and show times to view this outstanding talent.

We recently took advantage of seeing The Life & Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby by David Edgar from the novel by Charles Dickens. This play is a two-part, rotating performance that has been playing from November 11 and continues through December 20, 2009.

Other upcoming Playmaker performances include: All My Sons playing January 27-February 14, 2010 and The Importance of Being Earnest playing March 3- March 21, 2010. You may want to check out the website to get specifics about each of these upcoming plays: http://www.playmakersrep.org/

All current/active volunteers that are interested in getting more information about tickets to the above Playmaker performances can e-mail me at volunteer@ifcmailbox.org. You will be notified via e-mail when tickets become available. There are limited dates and times that are offered to volunteers, so hopefully one of the designated performances will fit into your schedule.

As always, thank you for your service and Happy Holidays. Until next time….Peace,

Karen
