Sykes Toy Project of Northminster Church…
The Sykes Toy Project was
founded 22 years ago by Jean
Sykes. Its purpose is to spread
the joy of Christmas to children and families who are less
fortunate.
Gently used and new toys are
collected all year long. Any
type of donation is accepted,
such as toys, stuffed animals,
books, games, puzzles, craft
items, etc. Each one is carefully inspected to make sure they
are not broken, missing parts,
torn, etc. Collection and cleaning days and hours are on
Tuesday and Thursday, 9:30am
to 11:30am. During the spring
and fall months the toys are
cleaned. Once cleaned, batteries are replaced, hair brushed,
etc. and then they are bagged
and ready to go.
Church is located at 705 Main
Street, Reisterstown, MD.
In December, just before
Christmas, the Project’s staff
holds four shopping days
where different organizations,
churches and families can
come in to shop.
Jan Eline, a new volunteer at
the Project, has found her time
there to be very satisfying and
enjoyable.

Memorial Tree...Laser Engraved Ornaments
Each year Eline Funeral Home
displays a Memorial Tree throughout
the Holiday Season.

If they prefer to leave it on the tree
until the season is over, they are welcome to do so.
The Memorial Tree is filled with

are sent an invitation to view the tree
and take their ornament home with

Dr. Seuss…”How the Grinch Stole Christmas” about the author
Theodor Seuss Geisel was born
on March 2, 1904, in Springfield,
Massachusetts, to Theodor
Robert Geisel and Henrietta
Seuss Geisel.
He published his first children's
book, And to Think That I Saw
It on Mulberry Street, under the
name of Dr. Seuss in 1937.
A major turning point in
Geisel's career came when he
wrote, The Cat in the Hat,
published in 1957. The
success of The Cat in the Hat
cemented Geisel's place in
children's literature.
Geisel would write many more
books. His later credits include
favorites such as Green Eggs
and Ham and How the Grinch
Stole Christmas. In 1966, with
the help of cartoonist Chuck
Jones, The Grinch was adapted
into an animated film.
Dr. Seuss died on September
24, 1991.

Two Elderly Guys at Dinner………………...author unknown
An elderly couple has dinner at
another couple's house, and after
eating, the wives leave the table
and go into the kitchen. The two
gentlemen were talking, and one
says, 'Last night we went out to a
new restaurant and it was really
great. I would recommend it very
highly.'
The other man asks, 'What is
the name of the restaurant?'
The first man thinks and thinks
and finally asks, 'What is the
name of that flower you give to
someone you love? You know...
The one that's red and has
thorns.'
'Do you mean a rose?'
Now
'Yes, that's the one,' replied the
man. He then turns towards the
kitchen and yells, 'Rose, what's the
name of that restaurant we went to
last night?
That’s
Funny!
