2008-2009 We sent eight boxes filled with blankets, trail mix, candy (especially chocolate to send in the winter when chocolate wouldn’t melt!), school supplies, magazines, Girl Scout cookies, and various items from soldiers’ wish lists, and Christmas cards. We also participated in Operation Fairy Tale and collected over 50 children’s books to be sent to Fort Hood soldiers serving in Iraq. The soldiers were videotaped while reading the book and the video was burned to a DVD to be mailed to the soldier’s child along with the book so that the child can follow along. It made a wonderful gift!
