I double checked and Elle (admin) and she said since this wasn't to me, or donations, just sending cards it was okay to send "publically". Thanks Elle.

Just FYI if anyone is interested. I'll be sending this to my groups too, so you might get it twice! What's sad is that they have to screen them and people will actually send hate mail.
I like to send this because I've heard so many cards are sent to Walter Reed and they can't use them. I wish they could just "forward" them to the Red Cross program. Carla

Red Cross to Distribute Holiday Cards
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23, 2009 - The American Red Cross again will sponsor a national "Holiday Mail for Heroes" campaign to receive and distribute holiday cards to servicemembers, veterans and their families in the United States and abroad.
The card campaign includes those working and receiving care at Walter Reed Army Medical Center here.

A special P.O. Box address will be published the first week of November online at http://www.redcross.org/holidaymail.

In the meantime, people shouldn't send cards to Walter Reed unless they are addressed to a specific wounded warrior.

Due to security restrictions, Walter Reed cannot accept generic mail addressed to "A Recovering Soldier" or "Any Soldier." In past years, hundreds of cards were returned to senders because of generic addresses, many sent in response to misleading e-mails.

The American Red Cross and Pitney Bowes Inc. will partner for the third year to provide screening of all mail sent to the special P.O. Box address. Cards postmarked no later than Dec. 7 will reach servicemembers recovering at Walter Reed.

Georgia, Thank you for the comment about adding hot things into a cold crock pot, never thought about it might crack!
Well it's almost a month when I said I'd make that green chilli chicken and I finally bought some chilles. I want to send the seeds to my sister to grow in a pot I had painted with red chilles for her birthday.
I'll try to find time to post more recipes, I just got a copy of the "fix it and forget it" slow cooking Cookbook.

Hi I love this Group!! I only wish I had recipes to share I'll have to look in my old cook book. I haven't used a crock pot for awhile because I broke the bottom out of my last one when I poured something hot in it the entire bottom a perfect circle just popped off hot gravy everywhere. But now I have a new one and I'll be sure not to do that again!! Have a great day!!

Sounds good Marianne! I haven't been doing any crockpot cooking lately but would like to get back to trying other recipes.

I used one of the pork chop recipes w/ mushroom soup yesterday - very very good. Although I have one daughter who doesn't eat pork, so she just had the rice and the gravy made from the cr. of mushroom soup. Served with green beans....ym
