I've been given the okay for doing my son's Seabee battalion at Camp Leatherneck. We will need 300 cases and will start sending on May 15. I'm so excited. :) Kelley
We have Gina 12, Nancy W 25, Ethel 16, Ally 40, Pat 30, Sue 30 and Susan 30 on the 15th, that's 183
Then we have Birdie 50, Natalie 15, Jodi 15, me 20. for the 31st of May That's 283
The Chaplain estimated 300. I will double check on the figures. But I could use one or two more helpers for the 31st.

Kelley, Put me down for 15. I'll try for more. My mom(who's 89) is going to start working with me on making the pcs during our weekly get together. My dad was a Seabee in WWII so this will have an extra special meaning to my mom. Please put me down for the 31st.
We will be finished with this group at the end of May, unless they tell us they need more. So June 15 is not necessary.
I have another group in the wings if someone needs to wait until June.
Hi Sue,
I sent out my 26, hope you got the email and pic I sent. Im good for another 50 in June, let me know when.
Thank you,
Terri B.
Okay, we have Gina 37, Ethel 16, Ally 40, Pat 30, Sue 30 and Susan 30 on the 15th, that's 183
Then we have Birdie 50, Natalie 15, Jodi 15, me 20. for the 31st of May That's 283
The Chaplain estimated 300. I will double check on the figures. But I could use one or two more helpers for the 31st.
Thanks everybody.
Kelley
Kelley, would you edit the top of the discussion and put those numbers up there? That way they won't get lost in
the body of the thread. click on the options button, then edit.
Thanks!
Kelley- Let me know how many more and I can fill the final gap-shipping on the 31st. I think I have 20 cut and ready to sew so let me know.
I can do the last 17, if you still need them. Are there any females?
Yes, there are a few, but no more than a dozen I think.
Kelley,
I am probably going to make an adjustment on Gina's and I have another one that I will confirm with. Will let you know.
Hi Kelley,
please change Gina to 12 and add Nancy W for 25. Nancy and Susan are newbies who come from the Country Woman article.
Gina is a teacher at a school and the kids make colorful tie dyed ones. so I am having her mail some the CLB-4 since I need a few more. Then both groups will get some of those.
