CHS Angels will be gift wrapping presents tomorrow from 1 to 6 p.m. in the Carmel Arts and Design Center in downtown Carmel.
Wrapping paper and materials will be provided there, and there is a sign-up available according to Kati Feller, CHS Angels co-president and junior, said. “We ask them to sign up to get a general number of people who will be coming,” she said.
The tips given to the CHS Angels from gift wrapping will be funds for the CHS Angels to participate in other activities. On Dec. 23, a second gift wrapping is planned.This event is scheduled at Castleton Mall from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Feller said that unlike the gift wrapping event at Carmel Arts and Design Center, materials will not be provided. “Last year, I bought a lot of stuff at the after-Christmas sale (in preparation for this),” Feller said.
In the spirit of giving during the holiday season, CHS Angels have been busy with activities in November and December. According to Fran Rushing, CHS Angels sponsor and teacher, CHS Angels did a Thanksgiving basket program through a local church. However, Feller said the organizer cancelled the event at the last minute. She said that she still plans on donating the items collected, but she is not sure where she will donate it yet.
CHS Angels had an event on Dec. 6 at Castleton, called Breakfast with Santa. Six members dressed up as Christmas characters.
In light of the holiday season, CHS Angels have worked hard, but they hope to continue.
“We look forward to our two major fundraising events, the gift wrapping at the Carmel Arts and Design Center and at Castleton,” Mallory St. Claire, club co-president and senior, said.
