Subject: Care Packages


Hola!
 
I just have to brag on Elfsea!  We have had so many items donated that I
will have to send 2 shipments!  I will be sending off our first box on
Monday to PFC Ashley Cairo in Kabul, Afghanastan.
 
Just a tip. Go to resale shops. I found at a resale shop the other day 16
gallon size ziplocks full of hotel soaps, shampoos and shower caps. They had
them marked at $1.00 a bag.  I talked to the manager and told her that I
would like to buy al the bags, but wanted to know if she could come down on
the price. I told her that I would be sending them to a troop overseas.  She
came down to $.50 a bag!  I went home and counted out what was in the bags
and came up with 83 bottles of shampoo, 47 shower caps and 173 bars of soap!
All for $8.00!!
 
I have enclosed a list of what we have gotten so far.  What has everyone
else collected so far? I'm really curious! :)
