Congratulations Grayson.

Foerstel’s Christmas Wish
As seen recently on Foerstel’s Facebook Page:
Foerstel******PLEASE READ***** To all of our Foerstel Friends and to our peers in the design and marketing world. We are very happy in our new office in the Linen District area and enjoy being in the heart of our community. However, because of our location, we see “everyday” how the homeless in our community move in-between shelters and sometimes just don’t have the capacity to make it to some of those shelters. Whatever the situation, we look out, see, and know that these people are trying to survive, especially in this unbearably cold weather!
****HERE IS OUR CHRISTMAS WISH*******Please look in your home…we are sure that you have to have 1 or 2 used blankets that you no longer need, are ready to throw out or donate. We ask that you please bring them to our office at 249 S. 16th St. between now and Friday, Dec. 18th. We want to just hand them out to these people, so they have a blanket to call their own and help shield somewhat from the cold.
We’re not asking you to go buy new blankets, just bring in your own well loved blankets that are no longer needed. … See More
Please respond here with questions or call Laura at 371.2704
Thank you in advance! We want to make a difference in our little community
If you can help, please do.
