if you ' re not familiar with enron kids , this is the program where enron
adopts all the kids in a local school where a majority of the families are
living near or below the poverty line . the adoption consists of groups of
employees selecting one or more children and buying a full set of clothes
( including socks , underwear , shoes , and an overcoat ) plus a toy and book .
the approximate cost is $ 125 per child adopted . all the gifts are
distributed by the committee during a party at the school several weeks
before christmas . in a lot of cases , our gifts are the only things the kids
will get this year .

be in charge of collecting funds and coordinating the buying of presents . if

donations total . please let kevin know your donation by tuesday november
14 . we will adopt the maximum number of kids on wednesday november 15 .
