Hi, both of my daughters are members of the Homeschool Honor Society and their service project for February is a collection of supplies to be sent to soldiers overseas.  After looking over the list of requested supplies, my girls decided that what they felt was most important on the list was the request for letters to be sent in the boxes to the soldiers.  Their older brother (Mike, 28) is in the Army and is scheduled to deploy to Korea in April, and he tells them all the time how much the letters from folks mean to all of the soldiers at his post in El Paso (Ft. Bliss), Texas. So, they have asked me to go to each of my e-groups and request letters from them. 

What they would like is for anyone (but particularly homeschooled kids) to write just a short note, a postcard, or draw a picture to be sent to the soldiers.  You just need to mail the stuff to us and we will take them to the center for distribution in late February.  We need to receive the letters, etc. by the first week of February. 

I would greatly appreciate all of y'all's help in making this a big success.  Just mail the stuff to us at:
