coal in the stocking .

I just got a message from Vera in Orlovka , in a few weeks is seniors day and she would like to have a celebration for them , and give them each a little gift.  She usually has about 80 seniors that she works with and is looking for $200 for this celebration.   I am glad that she reminded me , we would also like to do something for the seniors home ,  other years we have had to put a lot of thought into what we would get the seniors .. this year its an easy one , if we had the funds we would get them coal.  even if we could get 5 tons for about $450 to get them started , and we can buy more when the funds come in. but for now I would love to get them each a lump of coal in their stocking.
