[Namron] Fwd: [Ansteorra-announce] Gathering and Sending CarePackages to our Service ...

[Epperson, Sheryl]

Adena,
Maleah mentioned this at Pop meeting this week, and is looking for
someone willing to help coordinate shipping packages every 1-2 months, I
believe.
 
I'm willing to help, but can't coordinate myself sometimes, let alone a
group effort.
 
Annabelle

		Greetings Ansteorra,
		
		As many of you have heard and read in the last two
weeks, one of our own;
		Friedrich von Konigsberg, was killed while serving his
country in Iraq. 
		One of the things that we learned from Friedrich's
frequent emails home was
		just how much receiving care packages meant to the
soldiers serving in
		Middle-East. Anything that these brave men and women get
from home helps to
		lift their spirits and reminds them that we appreciate
their service. 
		
		In honor of Friedrich and his life, many of his friends
have begun gathering
		and sending care packages to the men and women who are
serving in Iraq and
		Afghanistan. This has lead people from Bryn Gwlad, where
Friedrich lived, to
		begin working as a group to gather and send care
packages to our troops in
		harm's way. I therefore invite, nay, challenge the other
baronies, shires
		and cantons in this great kingdom to do the same. How
many groups out there
		are willing to put forth just a little effort to let our
soldiers and
		marines who serve in hazardous duty know that we
remember and appreciate
		them? All you need is one or two people from each group
to coordinate the
		effort of collecting the donations, then boxing and
shipping it - everyone
		else can just drop off donated items at fighter practice
or populous
		meetings. It's that easy. 
		
		What's that? You don't know what to send or where to
send it? That's not a
		problem - just have your group's coordinator contact us
at the email address
		below, and we'll tell you all that you need to know.
Furthermore, we'll keep
		a tally of the groups who are joining in this effort and
sing each group's
		praise on these lists and in as many courts as possible.

		
		We often speak of heroes in the SCA, and sing their
praises. Well now we
		have the chance to honor true heroes - the men and women
who have
		voluntarily placed themselves in harm's way in order to
help keep us safe.
		Come on, Ansteorra, let's do what little we can to honor
and support these
		heroes!
		
		Thank you,
		Sir Pendaran & Mistress Jehanne
