From Ms. V.- Great News About our Annual Care Package Drive for Soldiers

Hello Everyone!

Thanks to the Maple Community! F3 packed up 29 large boxes to go to active duty soldiers in Afghanistan. Items we shipped included letters, wet wipes, books, magazines, DVDs and CDs.

Thanks to Don Mills at the American Legion Seattle Post #1 for donating all of the funds necessary for the shipment of all of the boxes. And thanks to Shannon Ritscher, parent of a first grader, for taking the time to bring all of the boxes to the Georgetown post office.

Thanks again to everyone for making this event now a Maple tradition.

On a personal note, I do hope and pray that someday there won’t be a combat zone to send the packages, and that instead we can surprise soldiers with packages at peacetime.

All the best.
