Holiday Mail For Heroes

[ladynorbert]

Feeling better this morning, gang, so I'm just popping in to spread the word. My dear friend tribalw0lf is encouraging her friends to send holiday cards to recovering soldiers, and this is an excellent idea; however, you can't send them directly to Walter Reed Hospital or similar location and just address them to "A Recovering Soldier." They will not accept them.

The Red Cross runs a program called Holiday Mail For Heroes, and they will distribute your cards to soldiers in hospitals and the like. For information and guidelines, go here:

I will talk to the bosslady today. If not, I'll ask one of the per diem people if they can work for me on that night. =) I told Rob about it, he would love to go too. Do we dress up or anything?

Totally optional. All we really ever ask is that people come clothed. ;) If you feel like dressing up (it is in the church, after all), you're certainly welcome to do so but it's not required.
