Being away from loved ones is difficult enough, but being separated during the holidays intensifies the separation. So the Travel Club is participating in “Full Circle Home.”
How does it work? Soldiers contact “Full Circle Home,” a local non-profit organization. The soldier lets the group know what special person in their life they would like to receive a holiday package. The soldier writes a personal letter, and it is enclosed in a lovely box addressed to their loved one. Twelve special individual gifts are given on behalf of the soldier…along with a personalized letter from the soldier. There is a present to represent each of the 12 days of Christmas…but the most special is the one that contains the personally written letter accompanied by the small pack of tissues.
Please help us collect the following:
- Kleenex -pocket packs of facial tissues (generally come in 8 packs) (small only contain 10 tissues per package)
- Spa socks (soft, super-comfy socks often infused with aloe)
- Whitmans, Russell Stover or similar – 2 oz. box of chocolates – 4 piece box only!!
The drop off box will be located outside Reflections Restaurant in Building 3 – starting November 28 until December 12. If you would like to make a financial contribution, checks can be made to Full Circle Home. In the event you would like to sponsor a gift box, each gift box is valued at $75.00. Any questions feel free to contact Janet Zinck 292-2598 or Diane Cheasty 292-2580.
