Care Package Drive for the Troops: Huge Success!
Message from Deb:
I am truly grateful to all of you who participated in our Care Package Drive to support our Troops. The items you purchased, the hours you worked at the Drive, and your generous checks for postage and product made shipping almost 400 boxes possible. In spite of these tough times together we touched about 30,000 troops, making their holidays away from home a bit brighter. Your generosity is absolutely overwhelming and means so much to me! The stories from our Drive that I share with Courtney amaze and humble her.
For those of you who coordinated your children, their friends and your students to make cards and bring items, please pass this on to them with my thanks. They truly made a difference.
Malcolm Muggeridge once said, "Every happening, great or small, is a parable whereby God speaks to us, and the art of life is to get the message." You all got the message! Thank you for touching the lives of our troops.
Proud Army Mom!
