[Bordermarch] Re: [Ansteorra-announce] Gathering and Sending Care Packages to our Service Man and Women

[Elizabeth Burgin]

I've been meaning to do this for a few years...I
volunteer to take in donations for Bordermarch.
Anyone who wants to can bring things to me at Fighter
Practice.  Which means I'll have to be there. 
Hmmm....yeah, okay, I can do that :)
