J Freshie: I believe Sarge will answer you. He is tied up with this week's PIR group now. Always easier for him to be in touch after Sunday and before Thurs. Did you email or text him? If texted, try his email: johnspadaro@att.net but he may not answer for a couple of more days for the reason I stated above.

J Freshie,
I think Sarge has access to raffle tickets, but if anyone has a connection where raffle tickets could be donated (like an American Legion), that would help.
I am thinking maybe Sarge's wife handles the selling of the raffle tickets, but she might need help?
I'm not sure who provides the containers, but maybe the Sundance Saloon has something that could be used?
I really don't know who does the announcing.
Sorry, I can't be more helpful. We didn't do a raffle when I went to the Meet & Greet.
Here's his email again just in case: JohnSpadaro@att.net.

Nope, they can never receive enough mail!

BC is just the start. When hubby was deployed they said the same thing about mail that we hear from BC. It's like gold...and they live for it.

You can't overdue it. Keep up the good work folks.

Amity 109 I also thought I was over doing it. I write twice a day and I've also sent letters from my students. My bf loved them. He thanks me in every letter for writing him so much. I'm
Glad he appreciates him and knows I got his back!

Doh! CatMom509...didn't think of that! UGH...yuck!
Or pantyhose...bleh. It was required at a waitressing job I once had. No fun when you are in a three hour "bomb".

I received a very touching letter from my son. He says "Mom thank you for your nightly letters. they help me push forward. God knows I need it". Ladies before now, I thought I was overdoing it by writing every night. Little did I know how my 21 years old son is feeling and how much my letters can help him get through the day. They mean the world to them. If you are not writing every day, start now. They need us and this feeling of being part of their success is great!
