In case you all missed it last night. I wanted to let you all know that we had a family donate not just 1 but 2 baskets. They have 2 daughters. 1 in B.C. Now and 1 in DEP. Mom said she wanted to pay it forward. Because even though her second daughter will be going to B.C. in G.L. later. She was afraid there group wouldn't be as fun as ours. So big props to all of you for keeping the excitement alive. Hoping to pick up a few more baskets today. If anyone is wondering they are from Kansas. Thank you. SheisaSeabee.

You all should be soooo proud of yourselves. I received and e-mail. Stating to other groups have stepped up and have started basket projects for Sarges Meet and Greet. This is not something that is done at every M. and G. Someone has to start it. With all the excitement you all have created it has spilled over into the other 2 groups. I hope it continues. I have also got a lot of compliments on how fun this group is. So keep up the good work. I think Sarge is going to be a little surprised,. To say the least.
