Care Packages: Marty Novak
In October, we sent 27 Care Packages. Thanks to all who came to help pack the boxes.

Thanks to our American Legion Family for the help and support they give us, to the members, non-members, groups, organizations, and business of our community for their monetary donations, memorials and donations of supplies.

Our December packages will be special with homemade cookies and candies, Christmas candy canes and other special treats. If you’d like to donate some treats, the cookies must be sturdy cookies that travel well. More about the December Care packages next month.

We do Care Packages on the 2nd Wednesday of each month. Our next packing day is October 11th. We are ready to start filling the boxes about 10:15-10:30 and usually finish by 11. Anyone is welcome.

Cell Phones for Soldiers
We are no longer collecting cell phones. Homeland security will only allow me to send 3 cell phones at a time rather than sending them in the medium flat rate box. This is making it too costly to continue.
