[Namron] A More Complete List of Items for Military Carepackages...

[Aline Swynbrook]

Since I volunteered to help coordinate this, if people
could bring any of the following items to the
Pie-in-the-sky populace meeting next week, I will
start figuring out how best to package them.  (Who was
I co-coordinating with again?)  

Also, if anyone works somewhere where they could get
small cardboard boxes to ship this in, those would be
greatly appreciated.

In Service, 
Aline
