The Year In Review:
Treats for the Troops-What a fantastic outpouring of love for our Halloween program! We were able to ship 3,000 small Halloween treat bags to troops at 25 different locations in time for Halloween 2007. We also made personal deliveries to Walter Reed AMC and their supportive housing facilities. THANK YOU everyone for all your wonderful donations of candy, and support stuffing the treat bags.
Independence Day
- We shipped 725 pounds of care packages to our service members to salute
them in time for Independence Day. Included in the packages were
"Party Packs which included donated (and a few purchased), holiday
decorations and some silly games (paddle ball, Hackey Sacks, etc.), all in red
white and blue. Once again volunteers filled hundreds of holiday
colored "goody bags" filled with snacks to be handed out in addition
to shipments of bulk snacks, drink mixes, etc.
Girl Scout Cookie Challenge 2007 - Our challenge: "You donate 'em, we'll ship 'em." We've far surpassed our 2006 season totals thanks to the wonderful citizens in the area, Brownie, Junior and Senior Girl Scouts of Loudoun and surrounding counties. We have been shipping to Iraq, Afghanistan, and even Kosovo and have taken cases over to Walter Reed Army Medical Center patients and workers. They are getting plenty from other groups over at the hospital so we are shipping the bulk of ours overseas. We have shipped over 4, 800 boxes of cookies to our troops!!
Hats off to our top four collecting troops in 2007:
449 boxes - Brownie Troop 5779 - Fairfax, VA
371 boxes - Brownie Troop 3752 - South Riding, VA
333 boxes - Brownie Troop 4133 of Dumfries, VA
295 boxes - Brownie troop 489 of Leesburg, VA (only 8 girls!)
Golf Tournament Fundraiser - April 14th, at South Riding Golf Club was a HUGE success!! The final numbers showed that we raised approximately $5,000!! THANK YOU to all who supported our event.
Easter - "Baskets", created out of lunch bags by residents of an assisted living facility, were prepared and were shipped along with cards and other treat bags. Addition Easter bags full of treats were also filled and mailed to various units including our own local Leesburg/Manassas National Guard Unit who just arrived at their permanent address in Iraq.
St. Patrick's Day - Gift baskets and Get Well Bears were delivered to a few hospital in-patients on the 15th. Decorations were shipped to one of the groups we supported and arrived just in time for the holiday. They said smiles were all around.
Valentine's Photos for Service Members - Anne Lord, of Anne Lord Photography in Reston, volunteered to take FREE professional photos of service members and their families at WRAMC. We had a wonderful turnout, over 60 by the end of the 3 hours period and everyone was completely thrilled with the high quality photos. They were so grateful for such a nice gesture. Many thanks to Anne and her husband Ed for all their hard work and for making these soldiers happy.
Holiday Drive 2006 - During November and December we shipped over 2000 pounds of food, snacks and gifts to service members overseas, in addition to making deliveries of vans full of donations and gifts to Walter Reed AMC and Bethesda NNMC patients. This is all thanks to our many volunteers for their dedication and outreach to friends, family members and co-workers. The letters of appreciation are coming in from overseas and are truly amazing and heartfelt. Thank you to all participants and donors alike.
