Baskets for Meet & Greet 11/6/14

Good morning everyone,I just spoke with Sarge regarding donating a basket for our Meet & Greet on 11/6/14.  He is such a nice guy and does such a wonderful thing for our Navy families.  He said yesterday's PIR had 50 baskets!!! They had over 400 people !Let's see if we can beat their record !! He said that the baskets can be anything, i.e., the state you are from, wine/cheeses, etc and that some of them go to Walmart in Great Lakes and create them then instead of flying with your basket.…See More

Good morning,

You can get the form on the Facebook Group - PIR 11-7-14 Navy Boot Camp 11 Divisions (353-362 & 952) under the doument files or you can create your own and list the items that are in your basket, with your name and division # and email to Sarge. 

Thanks again and cant wait to see you all at the Meet & Greet.

Hi Tammievan ... I just found out that we can just bring the forms/list of items with us to the meet and greet and put in front of the basket :) I'm not sure how many baskets there will be since they are also bringing baskets from the facebook pages.  Hopefully we will have lots !!! :) thank you!

Any idea how many baskets we have so far?

I saw a cute idea on pinterest if anyone is still looking for basket ideas:  buy a variety of lottery tickets ($20 or so)  and fan out attached to (tape, I guess) sticks stuck in a container of some sort.  Looks colorful and sure to be a hit!
