November 13th – Sending Holiday Packages to the Troops

Chapter 368 of National Women in Construction (NAWIC) is once again sponsoring the sending of holiday packages to the men and women serving our country.  Last year with everyone’s help we sent over 50 boxes to the Middle East to support our troops!

From now until November 10, 2010 the members of our organization will be collecting items to divide and send to service members who will be stationed in the Middle East in December.  

(Please remember that Travel sized items are the best to ship – Also Aerosol cans are not permitted.)

 We only send a 12×12×12 box to each Service Member so keep in mind to collect many different small items for each box…

 

Your donation can be dropped off or sent to Lankford Construction Company.  Any monetary donations will be used for shipping and should be made payable to: “NAWIC”

 

If anyone has a loved one, friend, acquaintance, or if someone has heard of someone that will be stationed in the Middle East over the holiday season, complete the form below or e-mail the information requested.

 

Should you have any questions, please feel free to call any Chapter 368 member or e-mail Patty Nilles – pnilles@lcco.com or Judi Tipps – jtipps@lcco.com.
