There is a couple in New Berlin who has a son currently stationed in Iraq. They have started a charitable organziation called "Take a Soldier to the Movies." This couple sends boxes to our troops that include a DVD, Microwave Popcorn, Candy a package of drink mix and a letter from home. Go to their website, you can even use your PAY PAL account and make a donation on line safely in a matter of minutes. Click...Click...Flick Flick....They are always in need of donations but especially as the holidays approach...your help would be appreciated. So if you can find it in your heart....and your wallet, they would appreciate the following:
- A new or used DVD
- Microwave Popcorn
- Camdy (Why not give away some of the trick or treat goodies)
- Drink Mix Packages in single servings
- Cash - 100% tax deductible and used for shipping costs
To make your donations stretch a little further...you can go to The Dollar Tree Stores...they have great boxes of all kinds of "movie candy" or go to one of the wholesale clubs for a large supply of Microwave Popcorn or family size packages of single serving drink mixes. You can just mail a check...you don't have to live in Wisconsin or near New Berlin...good old American cash works from ANYWHERE.
Why not....suggest this to your SOI with your holiday cards and Calendars as a way of giving back to the folks who are giving to you every day ?
If you are in or near New Berlin, Wisconsin, you may drop off your donations during normal business hours to: 14775 West National Avenue, New Berlin, WI., 53151 It is just east of Culver's....easy to find, a short ride from anywhere.....and a way to feel good about yourself knowing that you have brightened the day of someone fighting far from home this holiday season. It really is all about them....let them know you remember.
Thanks for Caring, Bernie & Kathy Hintzke
