Gulf Wars I find myself woefully short of things for the Above and Beyond Table
in Volunteer Point. Anyone who works 15 hours at Gulf Wars gets
to choose a goody off the Above and Beyond Table. Many people will go out
and work those one or two more hours just to be able to pick
something.</SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in auto"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; COLOR: windowtext; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">We all have
things we don’t need or use anymore, that length of trim that didn’t really
match the fabric you thought it would, the piece of jewelry someone gifted you
that isn’t really your period, those candlesticks that just never seem to come
out of the feast basket.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>As you
make the final sweep of your home, looking for things you need to take to Gulf
Wars with you, please think of the volunteers and see what small trinket or
trifle you can add to your baggage.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>It will be well appreciated.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>If you’re not going to Gulf Wars, but know someone who is, and have
something you could pass along, please consider doing so. Just bring any
donations by Volunteer Point. Thank you all in advance for your
generosity.</SPAN></P>
