May Mission

Hi everyone,

Our May Mission, with Memorial Day coming up, is going to be helping create care packages for our troops. A little thank you to them for all that they do for us, the largely goes unnoticed, yet provide "the very blanket of freedom that we sleep under." (Thank you Jack Nicholson :)

Beginning this Sunday through May 16, please bring items to the class room that you would like to send. There will be a box that we can put everything in. Items are things such as dry snack, chip, nuts, chewing gum, bottled water, bottled gatorade, ect. The also need bedding, towels, and toiletries. Playing cards, frizbees, soccer balls, magazines, and other entertainment items. Keep in mind this stuff has to be mailed over seas, so things like chocolate or other meltable things will melt before they arrive.

I'll have a box in the class room for us to collect the goods in. Currently the plan is to have Taci Kissler at the church to help us distribute what we collect. However if anyone out there has a family member or friend, that they would like to send this too for them and their unit, please let me know so I can gather the data. Obviously that will require a little more research and planning on our part than it would through Taci.

Thanks in advance for everyone's help.
