Ok, I talked with my Mother-in-law and also my cousin who have offered amazing suggestions and ways to help!
#1. Paypal account to accept cash donations. You can donate to dedicateddonationdrives@yahoo.com by visiting paypal. Please make note not to donate until after Thursday 8/12/10 in order for me to have confirmed all information through paypal.
All monies received via paypal will go directly towards shipping expenses for Support our Troops Drive. Any money that may be over the total amount of shipping costs will go to providing more items and more boxes to ship to our ServiceMen and Women overseas.
#2. Addresses of our ServiceMen and Women. Please feel free to email addresses for whom we can send our care packages. My mother-in-law and cousin are greatly helping in this area in providing us with addresss.
#3. Items to send. Between myself, my mother-in-law and my cousin, hopefully within the next few days I'll have a list of items that would be "needs" and "wants" for our Troops.
#4. A place and date to hold the EVENT. I'm continously working on ironing out the details of this. I'm hoping to post a place and date within the next 7 days.
Thanks for reading and Thanks for your support!!!
