Blue Wall Weekly: December 11, 2023

First, please allow me to thank you (quite belatedly) for all the nice gifts you brought when I was a child. They were (almost) always appreciated. My older sister did make me a slave to the rickshaw, but I’m sure you didn’t intend for that to happen. Oh, and fyi, I did finally get that pony I asked for every single year of my young life. My sister gave it to me, probably to make up for the rickshaw abuse. Now, these many years later, I have a new request. Can you please bring me a person? Not just any person… specifically, I need a person familiar with non-profits and mega grants. Not for me, Santa, but for the many Wild children who want to experience the wonders of Jocassee through Jocassee Wild Outdoor Education. Our community is giving us wonderful support, but I don’t always remember to fill out the paperwork on time to get their contributions. I could use some help with that! Santa, if you can find the perfect person who also knows how to tap into funds big enough to keep our wonderful Jocassee Wild Child director above the poverty line, that would make my life complete. Oh. And an illustrator. And both these people just love Jocassee and want to help with the effort for little or no money. Of course. Is this too much to ask? I hope not! I’m counting on you, Santa! Merry Christmas, and please give my best to Mrs. Claus and all the elves. Love, Kay
