This was sent to the Candyman List. Wonderful way to make yourself feel good. I wish I lived close enough to help too.

Thought perhaps someone on the list might like to help. Feel free to forward it on anywhere you feel might be helpful. Catherine The Angel Project Needs YOU!! We are overwhelmed. Our request for hand-made angels (to show support for September 11th victims' families, New York firemen and policemen) has clearly touched the hearts of many, many Americans and kind-hearted people all over the world. Two months ago when Clapper Publishing began The Angel Project, we hoped we would receive one angel for each person who had died on that day - 5 to 6 thousand. To date we have received over fifteen thousand angels - and every day's angel delivery is larger than the day before. On November 15 alone we received 3,843 angels! We are desperately in need of volunteers to help come to our office, open the angel boxes, count them, and log the names and towns of the donors. (We're in Des Plaines, Illinois - very close to O'Hare airport. 2400 Devon, just west of River Road, Suite 375.) Organizing an angel group of 3-10 people to open the angels for 2 hours is the ideal but individuals who can donate as little as 1 hour is helpful, too. We will accomodate the hours you choose, and day, any time. We will be collecting angels and preparing to bring them to New York through mid-December - and we need help every single day until then. Opening a box of angels is like no other experience. Reading the notes, prayers, and wishes of those who have made each angel is very touching. Some are real works of art. All are works of heart. Please be an angel. Help with The Angel Project as we reach out to help others heal. This could be the perfect service project for your group! Please contact us with the available date(s) and time(s) you can come to open angels, the number of people in your group, and name and number for your group's contact person. We'll sign you up! Complete instructions will be available when you arrive.
