Black Owl Posted November 14, 2007 Share #1 Posted November 14, 2007 For those that were with us last year, you may recall that we sent packages to our members and members family members who were in harms way last year. Was wondering if anyone would be interested in doing the same thing this year. I thing we expanded it a bit last year and sent packages to friends and neighbours who were over there. This year I would suggest keeping it to our members and the members family members. Would also suggest that if anyone wants to make a donation to this effort, that we keep the donations to 10-15$. Anyway....... Just thought I would run this up the flag pole to see how many would salute it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Owl Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share #4 Posted November 14, 2007 Russell, I'm sure that we would give, but I'm not sure I want to spend a month or so in the cold garage this year. Lets see who else is intrested, and go from there! You guys did your part last year........ But, if you want to volunteer again this year........ well . Serously though, if there is enough interest, I'll take care of it this year.... So far it looks like we only have 3 or 4 folks over there.

Sweetnothing Posted November 15, 2007 Share #13 Posted November 15, 2007 Last year Brad and I took the donations, then we went shopping at Sam's Club where we could get a lot more for the money. I got big boxes from the grocery stores, and then started seperating what we bought into 6 packages. But then we got more names, so it changed to 10 names. Finally everything was done! Send them out from the Post Office....If they are going to a APO (I think thats thats it - I'm having a brain fart) the cost to ship is the least expensive. If you have any questions on how to do it call me on my cell in the VR list. I will help out any way I can. 1st thing I did was go to every pet store in the county and bought all the flea collars (dog collars are cheaper than cat collars).

Chuckles Posted November 15, 2007 Share #14 Posted November 15, 2007 Black Owl,I am the president of Rolling Thunder, IN. Chapter 7, we send care packages to the troops quite often. Have enough items to fill many packages. If you could send me some names and addresses, we would be very happy to send the packages. As I said we have plenty of items to send but need some addresses. Just an idea. Chuckles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you want to send the packages from Rolling Thunder instead of the VentureRiders? Or, do you just want names to send additional packages?

Chuckles Posted November 16, 2007 Share #17 Posted November 16, 2007 Just needed some more names at this time. We have two National Guard units from our area that are leaving in the near future. Will be approximatly 450 people at that time. But with the holidays coming up thought if I could get a few names maybe we could send out some packages at this time. Didn't mean to hijack the thread, just thought maybe we could help in getting some packages for the holidays. Not wanting to steal the thunder but just help in some way.
