YELLOW RIBBON PROGRAM
The Governor has asked that the residents of Wyoming support our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. This can be done by sending goodie boxes. Some ideas of things to bring for the boxes are decks of new cards, small games, magazines (already read is fine), appropriate DVDs (previously viewed is great - they will be passed around), paperback books, holiday/seasonal decorations, new combs, small toothpaste/brush, wisps, individually wrapped wet wipes, wash cloths, sample sizes of anything, favorite is jerky, small cans fruit with pull tabs, nuts, granola, lunch tuna with crackers, individual packets of gatorade or crystal lite to put in water bottles, etc., etc. Be creative. Also cards, art from the kids, thank you notes for their service, all are appropriate and very welcomed. It takes a large amount of many items to fill theses boxes.
On Dorothy's library desk at the synagogue there is a large box with a camouflage top and yellow ribbon to put your items in. We'd like to send 3 female boxes and 3 male boxes. USPS single fee large box costs about $12.65 each to send, so donations are also appreciated. Checks to Bonnie Scotto or Donna Pepper will be used either for mailing or box contents. Put Yellow Ribbon Program on the subject line of the check. We won't know to whom they are going, but we'll put something in the box to say who sent it. We hope to send boxes to arrive near New Year's, so please have items to synagogue by Dec. 10th at the very latest.
Your help is much appreciated. Please google Yellow Ribbon program in Wyoming or call Donna at 637-7367 for more info. Thank you in advance for helping our soldiers, men and women, know they are being supported.
