The Operation Care Packages Committee held its first collection day Saturday September 25th. Five volunteers from MOPH Chapter One collected thank you messages written by the public (for the troops in Afghanistan and Iraq) on a series of posters the chapter provided. Some of the people also donated money to be used in the purchase of items to be included in the care packages. The posters will be included in the care packages the chapter will be sending to Connecticut servicemen and women in Iraq or Afghanistan.
For additional information or to donate any of the above items contact either Al Meadows (203) 929-3357 or Burke Ross (203) 929-3115 e-mail: burkeross@aol.com or to donate money for the purchase of those items, make your check out to Military Order of the Purple Heart Chapter #1 (write in the memo area of the check "For Operation Care Packages") and mail to Burke Ross, 47 Christine Drive, Shelton, Connecticut 06484
