Michele 1 #1 April 11, 2003 'Kay, so I live in a most excellent city. We have such a neighborhood here... One day last month, I went to the store. There was a girl scout troop selling cookies. They had a dry erase sign that said "Please Donate To Our Troops", so I asked about it. Turns out, buy a box of cookies, and the troop will send it over to them. Well, I bought a few boxes (a half dozen, actually), and left them there for the troops...as well as my card, and asked them if there was anyway we could "direct" them to a unit overseas. Seems they did that for Afghanistan's efforts, and would look into it and call me back...didn't hear from them, and frankly, forgot about it... Today I got a call...Burbank Parks and Rec has gotten involved, and is asking for names of friends and family who've been shipped overseas. They are gathering community donations for "care packages". Well, Burbank is pretty amazing, and the community response has been overwhelming. They figure that they have enough for 30 lb. boxes for 100 units once every 6 weeks or so for a year....things like razors, baby wipes, playing cards, gum, stationary, etc.... They called me today, and asked me for up to 6 names to put into the hat for a drawing for who gets the stuff. So I come here....please pm me with names, addresses, and unit kind (if possible - I guess there are some specific things one would need if they were one kind of unit, versus another), so my community can show support to our folk. (Especially looking for Lowpullin's info, because I know his wife just had a baby, and we haven't seen her since the due date...). I love living here....Burbank rawks!!!!! Thanks, everyone!

ladyskydiver 0 #5 April 11, 2003 Sorry, Michele! I have to disagree with you and agree with Keith. And, since you're already out numbered 2 to 1, you might as well just accept it. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michele 1 #7 April 11, 2003 Cora, you're just goofy. You and Keith. Goof monsters! And Gia, I tell ya, I only rock when the ground is shaking....or perhaps when I'm, ahem, not wearing the right bra....Gia, I have to work all weekend - besides, I hear rain is in the forcast, so no Elsinore for me. I *may* make it out on Wednesday, and if not, then next weekend for sure. And I've pm'd you back. Thanks for all the pms, folks...if I get told who we are able to send to, I will let you know so you can tell them. I was thinking about that last night - how odd for them to get this big package from the City Of Burbank, and not know how it came to be there. LOL!!!! So if I find out, I will tell you guys and you can pass the word. Deal?

Michele 1 #8 April 14, 2003 Updating... Everyone who sent me names, I have submitted them. I was not informed who would receive them - I think that comes later this week - but will let you all know who Burbank will be sending care packages to (if they tell me). Thanks all for sending me the names. I do appreciate it, and our troops will appreciate it even more!
