Hi everyone,

Well tomorrow May 20th. is Armed Forces Day, and to honor those who serve we can do something together as a Club.  We have a member's son in Iraq serving his and our country as we speak.  Becky & Mark Loos's  son & step son Tyler Anderson is in Iraq and we need to collect some personal items to send out to him and his buddy's.   Becky takes care of Tyler's needs pretty well but some of this buddies get absolutely nothing from home.  They need our help!!   With summer approaching you can imagine the temperatures these guys are facing.  And to top it off they don't get showers for weeks or months at a time.  We are going to get a care package together for the boys and send it over.  The following list is some of the items they need.  We will collect these items at my house on Sunday June 4th from 12-3 pm.  If you can't make it then give me a call or email and we will make arrangements for a different time.  You can also contact Kim or Ed Gustafson for a different time.  

So in the next 2 weeks when your out grocery shopping please thing of these young men and pickup a thing or two for them.  What it means to them we can only wonder.   Again we will collect them on June 4th at my house
