Dear Rev. Daniel Bradfield, Ms. Gretchen Rugh, & members of Bixby Knolls Christian Church,
Thank you for your ever-gracious sponsorship of our sale of fair trade crafts and foods benefitting thousands of impoverished people. We especially acknowledge you, Pastor Bradfield, for your special support.
We also thank you, Ms. Rugh, for your efforts as the hard-working coordinator of this event. Last but not
least, we also appreciated the great help we received that day from Scheri Dubon and James
Since our founding in 1975, our primary focus has been to help artisans and food producers, along with
their families, in developing nations and low-income areas of the U.S. Since 2004, we have operated a yearround collection of clothing, food, blankets, hygiene products, school supplies and other necessities that we
bestow to missions. These gifts are then distributed to low-income native Americans in Arizona and to destitute families in Mexico. Some of the donations are given to veterans at the VA in Long Beach on Christmas
and Easter.
Please visit us at our shop in Orange and call for our hours. Our website is ThirdWorldGifts.org. Again,
we offer our thanks to all of you for your immense kindness. We are celebrating our 39th year of service
which would not have been possible without your faithful, loving support.
Gratefully,
Susan M. Fenwick,
Director, Third World Gifts & Handcarts

The last ordering day for Scrip to be received before Christmas is Sunday, Dec 14. Special orders
will be available for pick up on Dec 17
To my church family who during my recent illness
and recuperation sent cards, e-mails, telephone
calls, visits (including driving me for doctor appointments) and above all your prayers, I am
deeply moved and appreciative.
I am progressing nicely and will return to church as
soon as the doctor gives me permission to drive.
May God continue to bless each of you and our entire church family.
Yours in Christ,
