COMMITTEES Veterans Committee The Committee continues to be active in an array of Military Service Projects and Organizations. We all enjoy what we do and it shows in the numerous activities and programs everyone on the Committee partakes in. We all have our individual pursuits, events, etc. and are always there for each other to “make it happen”. Our undertakings and missions are successfully carried out to fulfillment and completion. C.A.R.E. Packages will be mailed in October and/or November. Two recipients have been identified; one just completing boot camp at Camp Pendleton and another who has received deployment orders. Both of these young men are members of the Marine Corps and have supplied the following list of items as things that their units would appreciate: Baby wipes, soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, dental floss, shampoo, and deodorant. We try to collect a minimum of fifty of each item so the recipient can share with his/her platoon. Small and/or trial sizes are perfect as these sizes easily fit in their packs. If you prefer to make a donation for purchase of C.A.R.E. Package items and/or postage, that’s great too and very much appreciated. The Veterans Committee is self funded and relies on donations to fill the C.A.R.E. Packages and cover the cost of mailing. All donations (cash and/or checks) should be brought to City Hall and one of the ladies will be glad to receive your money, deposit it, and ledger it into the Veterans Committee account. And, we always appreciate your old magazines as they are great packing material and the recipients enjoy and appreciate the reading material. There is a receptacle in the lobby at City Hall to receive your items. On behalf of the entire Woodson Terrace Veterans Committee, we thank you for your support and the kind words of appreciation we receive. Please feel free to contact me at rmartin@woodsonterrace.net if you have any questions or comments and always remember to thank our service men and/or women and let them know of your appreciation.
