GOD’S TENDER CARE
When trouble comes, as it does to us all…God is so great and we are so small…
But there is nothing that we need know, if we have faith that wherever we go…
God will be waiting to help us bear our pain and sorrow, our suffering and care…
For no pain or suffering is ever too much
To yield itself to God’s merciful touch!
Care Packages: Marty Novak
CARE PACKAGES AND CELL PHONES: We sent 66 Care Packages in June. We always have room on our Care Package list so if you know of anyone who is deployed, please give us their name and address and we will begin sending monthly Care Packages for as long as they are deployed. Thanks to you wonderful people who give us regular donations of money or goods for the packages, for Memorials and any kind of donation for this project because we couldn’t continue to do this without your help. There isn’t a lot we can do for our deployed Troops to make their lives easier and let them know we care…but these monthly Care Packages sure help. Our next packing date is July 10. We start about 11 AM. If you haven’t helped pack Care Packages before, come join us. It’s a lot of fun and gives you a good feeling about sending these guys and gals something from home to let them know we haven’t forgotten them and we appreciate all they are doing for us.
IT’S GETTING THAT TIME OF THE YEAR WHEN IT IS GETTING VERY HOT OVER THERE. WE STARTED SENDING NECK COOLERS IN OUR CARE PACKAGES IN APRIL. IF YOU SEW AND WOULD LIKE TO MAKE NECK COOLERS PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I HAVE THE PATTERN IF YOU NEED ONE AND EVEN HAVE SOME OF THE CRYSTALS TO PUT INSIDE IF YOU NEED THEM.
A special thank you to all you winter visitors who are going back home. You are a HUGE help with the Care Packages as well as many other programs and projects in our Unit and in our community. God bless you all. We will miss you and we look forward to your return.
This also means that we will need extra help with the Care Packages. So if you haven’t done it before and would like to join us in this worthy project, we meet at the Post about 11 AM on the 2nd Wednesday of each month. It takes about 1 to 1 ½ hours.
It’s getting that time of the year that our Troops need neck coolers to help them handle the heat. If anyone interested in making them , let me know and I will get the instructions to you. Any help in this is appreciated.
We are an official collection site for cell phones that are no longer being used. These are sent for recycling and provide calling cards for the soldiers. We send the calling cards in our Care Packages. There is a collection container just outside the door of the Post. This year we have sent 142 phones for recycling and received 730 calling cards for our Troops.
As a reminder…the desserts that are donated by our members for the Wednesday night dinners help fund our Care Package project. We ask that you give a minimum of $1.00 for each dessert. Your generosity is appreciated.
What is a Veteran: A Veteran…whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve…is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America” for an amount of “up to, and including his/her life.” That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today, who no longer understand
