Operation Showers of Appreciation – Throws A Military Baby Shower
For Expecting Servicewomen and Spouses in Southern Nevada
Las Vegas, NV – Operation Showers of Appreciation will host a baby shower on Saturday May 12, 2012 at the Eastside Cannery Hotel & Casino located at 5255 Boulder Highway Las Vegas, NV 89122 at 1pm.
Approximately 120 new and expecting mothers who have deployed partners or are active-duty servicewomen will be supported. All military branches of service will be invited (Air Force, Army, Navy and Marines) to participate. The event will include gifts from the local community.
The majority of the women are first-time moms or expecting multiples. Due to constant deployments many of these expecting mothers will be giving birth while their husbands are deployed in combat areas such as Afghanistan. In addition to an afternoon of food and games the most important opportunity for many of these new moms is to be surrounded by other women in the exact same situation as they celebrate the births of their new babies.
“This will be the third shower for our organization here in the Las Vegas valley,” said Kimberly Felshaw, President of Operation Showers of Appreciation. "New motherhood is challenging enough under ideal circumstances, so we look forward to supporting these ladies during their time of need. Many would not have their own baby shower if we were not here to provide one for them."
Operation Showers of Appreciation will be holding a fundraiser to help raise funds for the Las Vegas Shower. The event will be at Charming Charlie's at Tivoli Village, 440 South Rampart, Las Vegas, NV on Sunday, April 29th from 6pm-8pm. This is a private event. Admission in advance is $5.00 and at the door $10.00. Please check out our flyer at http://osoamil.org/events/fundraisers click on Charming Charlie Fundraiser.
Members of the community are encouraged to drop off their new unwrapped baby items to:
The valets of Eastside Cannery Hotel and Casino - 5255 Boulder Hwy, Las Vegas, NV 89122 or
Cannery Hotel and Casino - 2121 East Craig Road, North Las Vegas, NV 89030. April 11th-May 10th.
Additional drop off locations are: Land Rover Las Vegas - 5255 West Sahara Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89146
BMW Motorcyles - 6675 South Tenaya Way Las Vegas, NV 89113
Individuals or companies wishing to donate or volunteer please email us at [email protected] Donations of baby items can be handmade or purchased. There is a need for diapers, baby shampoo/wash, bottles, teethers, pacifiers, bath tubs, wash cloths, clothing, socks, shoes and toys.
