Afternoon all,

Some where along the line I got elected as President of AT&T's Vet's Assoc DFW Chapter. We are co-sponsoring an event at the Dallas Zoo where active duty, reserves and retirees are admitted free with three guests with a valid military id. Our part in it is we are setting up a booth where we will putting together care packages to send over to the troops. We are aiming for 100 boxes.

If any of you are around please stop by and say hello.

Here is part of what we have collected so far:

The drink mixes -



Cracker Jacks (hey it has a sailor on it) -



Peanut butter cracker, in 2 flavors -



Cards, lip balm (donated by a company), and candy -



We also have a company donating a ton of chips and some other misc donations such as one kind soul who donated her late father's (a WWII vet) book collection, numbering around 10,000 books.

We have another group's chapter also collecting items such as jerky, gum, sunflower seeds and toothbrushes.

Again if you are at the Zoo please stop by and say hello. If you have a name, rank, unit and APO/FPO mailing address when you visit we will put together a box for the special person.

Jim
