OCTOBER 19, 2013 PACKING PARTY ~~ for the Crew of the Mighty USS Shoup
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!
The word is out: the Molly's Adopt A Sailor adoption will be the crew of the USS Shoup. Their deployment is already into its 5th month with no date of return in sight!!!
The 300 sailors who make up the crew include 60 women and 240 men. The Mom of the Month would like to send the tastes and flavors of fall -- packaged apple goodies, pumpkin & spice treats. They do have a wish list which I will post here in case anyone wants to supply some of those items.
We can still go ahead with our plans of home-baked Thanksgiving goodies/desserts, 'pies in a jar', Thanksgiving decorations, footballs and Christmas cards.
They will be receiving the boxes around Thanksgiving and I thought we could make that our theme since food and football to together for Thanksgiving! If anyone has ideas about decorating the inside of the boxes, please speak up and tell your thoughts/suggestions.
We will go ahead and collect from all our friends and families their left-over, unused Christmas cards from last year. They'll be packaged in small bundles so our adoptees will have cards they can write and send to their loved ones at home.
If anyone can think of something else along the line of Thanksgiving, football & early preparations for Christmas, please suggest them!!
The date is October 19th, beginning at 12:30 pm and lasting until we finish! Feel free to bring a bag lunch or a cold drink. I will have ice water, coffee and tea on hand.
ALSO, don't forget notes and cards wishing them a Happy Thanksgiving!! You can consider including pictures of our foliage as it is starting to turn - it will be a reminder of the season and home for anyone from a northern state.
So Moms, let's get ready to party!!! SHIPPING DATES WILL BE OCTOBER 21-23.

I'm going to leave this as a comment, mostly a reminder for myself, but some of the rest of you may want to help out with this part.
We are going to need the "church key" type of can openners. The kind that have the rounded end with a clip on it so they will be able to pop the lids off the pie jars. I keep forgetting to get a few when I go out!! Maybe this way will help me to remember?? And, maybe this way we'll have more than just a couple? :)

I'm going to venture to say that we really don't need to be worrying about sending along "church keys".
These are US Sailors we are dealing with and I would bet my bottom dollar they will get those jars open!

Does everyone know how to get to my house??
If not send me a friend request (if we aren't "friends" already) and I will PM the info to you. And, if we are "friends" send me a PM just to let me know you need directions.
Can hardly wait until Saturday!!
