If anyone is interested in sending a new gift(s) for the Kyle (South Dakota) CAP (Community Action Program) Christmas event this year, please send your gift(s) to the following address
Charlotte Kills Straight
% Kyle CAP Christmas Party
Medicine Route District Service Center
P.O. Box 496 - South Allen Road
Kyle, SD 57752
PLEASE make sure your gift(s) arrive by December 12, 2007. They plan the party during the week of December 17, so this will give everyone sufficient time to get everything ready for their party.
Kyle is on Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in SD. Pine Ridge is the most impoverished area of the United States. Appalachia is #2.
Indian kids rarely get anything new, and Christmas gifts may consist only of a piece of fresh fruit and a small bag of candy. They are most grateful for even this small gesture of gift giving. If you would like to participate in this program, which I initiated well over 20 years ago, PLEASE feel free to do so.
Please send your NEW gift(s) unwrapped, with a sufficient amount of wrapping paper, bows, tags, etc. The items will be sorted by members of the community by gender and age group and the elders all get together to wrap and tag everything for the event.
The age range is from infants to 18 years of age. The older kids are more difficult to buy for. In the past, I've suggested WalMart Gift cards in $5 denominations. Everyone goes 'into Rapid' (Rapid City) at least once a month, and WalMart is where they head.
Also, in keeping with their usual Indian Christmas, if you can send out some candy and nuts, this will be a big help as well.
If you would like to make a donation of money so the members of the CAP Office can fill in with gifts as needed per age group, or to help with the food being served to the community, sending a money order is the easiest way for them to receive it. Personal checks are ok too, and both should be made out to the Kyle Community Action Program.
If you have any questions, please contact me at [email protected] .
Please feel free to send this message to any group, organization, church or family and friends that you think may wish to participate. We need a lot of people to participate if we are to fill the need of gifts for this annual party.
