[Northkeep] Fw: [Ansteorra-announce] Gathering and SendingCarePackages to ourService Man and Women

[Lahoma Simon]

Zubeydah,

I will offer to be the co-coordinator for this!! Surely if we can gather
enough pickles and Gatorade for six tourney fields, we can round up
supplies for our modern day soldiers!  This is a cause very dear to my
heart and I will do whatever I can to help!  I am sure that there are
other in Halfiras as well that would support this, so let me know where
to start!!! I can get a list of recommended supplies from the Veterans
Affairs office here at Cherokee Nation if you would like and then we can
go fro there!

In service,
Rayhanna

I'm not sure where Balsac is right now.  Isa, are you still on the list?
Care to give us a Balsac update?  One of our boys from Mooneschadowe,
Belgutai, came home recently but I'm not sure where Bill (whose SCA name
is
escaping me) is right now either.  The Wastelands has a young man in the
Navy but he's in Japan, not in the middle east.  And apparently Danulf,
also
from Mooneschadowe, is heading into the Army this week.  Who knows where
he
will end up.  There may be more - those are the few I know.

Zubeydah, if you would be willing to be a coordinator, I'm sure that the
Barony would be willing to help.

Do we have any service men or women from the Barony currently serving?
Or
from any of the Northern Region?

I think this would be a very very cool thing to do.... I'd previously
worked
with Blue Star Moms a bit; they seem like a good group, if a bit
disorganized sometimes.

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
