Want to spread a bit of good will and help out a service member?

The Holiday season is hard on all of the soldiers that are unable to get home. When you send out your Christmas cards (Holiday cards) why not send out just one extra one to a service member.

Read this web page and it details the guidelines and gives the address.

Nothing says we can't sign them saying from Your Friends at YarisWorld.com

I think this would be a worthwhile venture!

Got any other "good will" ideas..... Post them.

It is a great idea! My lodge is already doing this, but if a few people from YW could help make someone feel a little closer to home that would be great!

Thanks Bob for allowing to ride your thunder on this. Don't forget to check out www.asymca.org to help out our children of service members. Many children will be without their parents this year during the holidays. The wives/husbands of those soldiers are without eachother so do what you can by donating toys, and participate in the programs the ASYMCA has for them. Check there website for locations. I'll be helping our local VFW collect toys this year for the children of our soldiers. You can read more at www.vfw.org. Thanks again. Lets make this holiday season enjoyable for everyone.

Also a great idea.......................

When doing your Christmas cards this year, take one card and send it to this address.

If we pass this on and everyone sends one card, think of how many cards these wonderful special people who have sacrificed so much would get.

If you read the site you can send multiple cards in one envelope.

Mine have been sent :)

Monday Bump.

Only a few more days until Christmas. Do your part, I just made another donation here. https://www.uso.org/donate/custom.aspx?id=565& $25.00 give our troops $75.00 worth of items. It's tax deductable as well for the ones that need that encouragement.
