Buckeye Blue Star Moms - bring items this Friday
Posted by James Warburton
on May 07, 2012
In honor of Memorial Day, the Club thought it would be a good idea to do something for our troops in Afghanistan.
It was decided to help an organization called Buckeye Military Moms (Blue Star Moms) that supports the troops (out in the war zones) by sending shoe boxes filled with useful items or goodies to eat. Our club has supported the organization in the past with both goods and money. On Friday, May 11th we will take up a strictly voluntary collection of items per the list below or a monetary contribution. The collection will take place in the registration lobby. Thank you for your donations for these Ohio men and women serving our country.
