The Exchange Club of Springfield, Ohio delivered 12 additional baby layette baskets to the 178th Wing on Friday. This is a program that was started by the Airman & Family Readiness Program at the local Air National Guard Base. The Exchange Club accepted responsibility for the project nine years ago. The Exchange Club Foundation Springfield, Ohio provides the funds to create the baskets. The purpose is to provide a baby layette basket to expecting local Air National Guard service members and or their spouse, for new infants up to 2 months of age. The baskets include a baby poem, “Children Learn What They Live”, which are printed and framed and placed in the baskets to complement the National Exchange Club’s Prevention of Child Abuse Project. To date the club has provided hundreds of baby baskets and will continue to provide them as long as they are needed. The items include things such as: Baby Bottles, Onesies, Bottle Brushes, Bath Toys, Pacifiers, Bibs, Rattles, Baby Wipes, Baby Powder, Baby Shampoo, Baby Spoons, Wash Cloths, Snack Containers, Safety Plugs, Stuffed Toys, Baby Lotion, Socks, Small Books , Baby Comb & Brush and other assorted useful items. Many thanks to Peg, Bev, Karen S., and Karen L for assembly this time around.
