Pat,
I have to say that, that absolutely rocked! I have received four packages
so far. The last one will show up somewhere for sure. Just may take a
little time. I instantly separated them and got them to the guys. We
will definitely be able to use all the nails and screws. The brushes,
bowls, saran wrap, cook ware and foil is just awesome. They will love
getting that stuff and I loved getting it for my own camp! So happy and
thank you so much. Please thank anyone that helped out!
It is all stuff we can use and we will definitely use it!
Thank you so much!

Time to start preparing our packages
It's time to begin our preparation of our care packages, that's right! "Packages"! We will have 2 groups to reach out to this year. I recently learned that my son will once again be deployed by October 2011. Our goal this year will be to touch 150 or more troops this year! Your help is needed. So help Operation Santa Bags reach it's goal. If you or anyone you know has someone serving overseas please reach out to them. The purpose of this project is to rise the awareness of how many troops are away from their family's during the holidays. The most that it will cost is time! all you need is a small group of caring, loving souls that appreciate our military! Our blog has a wish list of things that are needed and appreciated by our troops. We will be celebrating our 5th year of this project and Cathy and I have a great time doing this...............Won't you help! adopt a soldier, or a group! If you are unclear as to how to start contact me I will share with you how you can start your own project in your area! There is no greater joy than sending a package of love to our soldiers keeping us safe! and they appreciate all that we do.
Again, Thank you for your support!
Pat & Cathy
Again, Thank you for your support!
