Only 1 person guessed as high as 3000.
Christmas Caroling throughout in the neighborhood prior to counting socks.
Our fearless caroling leader.
Back inside where it is warm.
Everyone took part in counting the socks. It was a big production since there were so many.
"These are really nice socks"
Time for the tally.
Teamwork and oustanding results for the sake of local teens. Well done everyone!!!
The total as of 12/13/08.
That's what 3,049 pairs of socks looks like in a Living Room.
Thank you to KOVR for coming out on 12/14/08 to film a group of residents to do a story on Project 680. KOVR is Channel 13 for the Sacramento Region.
Ready for 15 minutes of fame??
This girl is from Orangevale actually and she had her friends bring socks to her birthday party instead of presents. This is the co-worker of one of the friends of a Cordova Towne resident (word spread all over the place for this project and so it was neat to meet people who gave so generously that we would have otherwise maybe not met had we not all pitched in to this project).
Exchange of socks on 12/17/08 to FCUSD. Council Member Linda Budge (Mayor in 2008) attended the event also.
Loading up our final number of socks in two cars.
Can you believe it? 3,144 pairs of socks!!!! Way to go everyone!!!!
