Dear Parent,

Next week, on (day, date), the Love Surrounds Us group will have a Magic Penny Party. Please send fewer than 50 pennies in a small bag with your child. We will combine the pennies to make a donation to the American Red Cross in the name of Clara Barton, its founder and a Universalist. We will also play games with the pennies. Help your child count the pennies. Maybe you could agree on some extra chores your child can do to earn the pennies.

Sincerely,

(Co-leader names and contact information)
