Kare Bears Source Book Update
Tracey Schryver
The Kare Bears House is still seeking volunteers to help deliver the 2026 PebbleCreek Source Book. The delivery date has not yet been determined but we are anticipating a mid to late February timeframe.
If you have volunteered in the past, you should have received an email to determine if this remains something you’re willing to participate in once again. You must reply to the email to remain on the volunteer list.
Additional volunteers are still needed to help out. This is especially true for our newer units as well as replacing volunteers who may have given up their position.
If you are willing to help, please send your name, unit and lot number, email address, and telephone contact to: sourcebook@karebears.org.
While we cannot guarantee you will deliver in your own unit, we will do our best to accommodate your needs. Volunteers will pick up their lot of Source Books at 15383 W. Cheery Lynn Lane (Eagle’s Nest side). Once you receive the books, you will place the book and map into a bag before delivering to the unit assigned. Each volunteer will deliver approximately 30-40 books. Most likely the pickup day at the Kare Bears house will be on a Sunday. All Source Books are to be delivered to the community by the Friday of the pickup week. We look forward to hearing from you to participate in this volunteering opportunity! Thanks for your kindness in lending a helping hand.
