Yes--plastic ones.  Keep in touch here on the page--we might have a Molly's Adopt a Sailor contact who can get them from her work for 81 cents each.  If so, I'll let you know.  They would have the company's logo on them, but we don't know if we can get enough donations and get them in time.

Consider buying a box of the single drink mixes per bottle ( I can actually fit about 3 boxes worth in most bottles.)  It uses up the space they take in a box.

Carol, 

 Do you mean the water bottles that are colored and cost about $5 each? If those are the ones I can bring 4 bottles. If I can find them for less I will bring a few more.

They just said, thanks but no thanks to Frisbees at this time.  Save them for another group.

My husband and I will be attending; I have asked my chapter of the American Business Women to bring items to donate at our next meeting, so I'm hoping to have lots of goodies!

We have a count now.  26 women, 190 men.  If anyone knows they can donate a water bottle or two or 10, let me know so I can add it to the count.  This is a group of women and men who work on a flight deck among other things.  Our theme is Picnic--so a can or two of easy top baked bean or Boston Baked beans candy would be fun.  Some nice frisbies.  It's almost football season, so maybe some Nerf footballs.  And lots of single drink mixes.  Carol

Carmex has a tube of chapstick that has a screw on lid.  That is a fav of the troops.  It doesn't melt in their pockets.
