"G. I. Care Packages from Cowtown"

Cowtown Good Sam’s (Area 13) has been sending care packages to soldiers serving in Iraq and Pakistan for the past year.  Merriann Martin proposed the idea during one of our business meetings and the club immediately supported the activity. 

Members bring items for the packages to our monthly outings and there is a box-packing event on Saturday afternoon.  Three to four boxes are normally packed and mailed each month.  Merriann organized the activity and mailed the packages for several months but during their recent move, relinquished the duty to Mickey Bingham.   The troops really appreciate the packages and the club has received numerous letters of appreciation.  The following letter was received recently.

 Dear Mrs. Bingham

My name is Christian Wolfe.  You recently sent me a care package for me and my fellow Marines.  I want to thank you sincerely for doing that for us.  It really means a lot.  We are in our third month of our deployment and we are doing a lot of great things out here.  I know the media usually doesn’t show the good stuff, but trust me there is a lot more good than bad.  I hope this letter finds you well.  Thank you again for your kindness.                                             

Sincerely, 
Christian Wolfe 

This has been a rewarding endeavor for the club and they plan to continue sending the packages for the foreseeable future.
