In preparation for the seventy-five metric tons of gifts that family and friends so kindly bestow on our three children (the twins' birthday is on December 29th, making things even more insane) during the holiday season, we will soon be conducting our First-Ever Toy/Book Purge.
This year, our purge will benefit Books for the Barrios, the much-lauded organization in Concord, California, that has so far shipped nearly 5 million pounds of books and other educational doo-dads to barrio schools in the Philippines.
So attention Delfino Clan: if you have things you'd like to donate and your house is somewhere between mine and Concord, I'll be happy to pick your stuff up. If a still-warm bag of pan de sal awaits me, so much the better. Here's what they need:
• Games and Puzzles
• Toys, Stuffed Animals and Tennis Balls (tennis balls?!)
• Athletic Equipment
• Crayons, Pencils and Scissors
• Clean Scrap Paper
• Children's Storybooks
• National Geographic Magazines
• Encyclopedias and Dictionaries
• Computers (Pentium I or better)
• Little Girls Dresses
Ready? Set? Purge.
