This is a news clipping from this week's Suburban Post, page 3. During our council's annual popcorn fundraiser, we did a few "Show & Sell" activities, and while not everybody is going to buy popcorn, many people were happy to donate some money to support our troops serving overseas. In fact, we collected close to half as much money in donations as we did from actually selling popcorn. We got information on four local soldiers currently serving abroad and used the donated money to purchase popcorn to send to these soldiers and their units. We were also able to get a donation to cover the shipping costs.I know this won't do anything to protect our soldiers and keep them safe, but I hope the morale boost that they get from this popcorn will help keep their spirits up and keep them vigilant against those that might try to do them harm. We received a letter of thanks from one of the soldiers, and I hope that all four of them will return safely to thank us in person some day soon.
