LETS HAVE FUN & SAY THANK YOU TO SARGE!!!
Time to have some fun, & raise some money to help Sarge & Mrs Sarge at the same time! :o)
Please help and spread the word through out your Division Groups!
We are short on days now (2 DAYS!!) OMG!!! (o:
All the proceeds go to Sarge and his wife. They provide and purchase the food and hold this amazing reception for all of us to feel welcome and get information about our SRs – just because we are families/lovedones of Sailors!
Let’s Pay it forward, Pay it forward!
Anyone that would like to put together a basket filled with items to represent your home state or items you have crafted, baked, or borrowed (& forgot to return to the neighbor that moved) ;o) Maybe you crochet, or paint, or knit, or woodwork.
Holiday themes: Thanksgiving is here, Christmas is coming, Football teams(go Bears!!) lol.. We can have many different baskets with many different things in them: Sports items, Challenge Coins. Blue Candles. The possibilities are endless, anything goes! Really it is whatever you want to bring. There is a dollar store and a Walmart right across the street for people to buy baskets if flying in. You can use gift bags,buckets, think "outside the box".
You bring it yourself to the Meet and Greet (M&G) and we'll raffle it off. OR you can mail it to the Navy Lodge and we’ll get it to the M&G for you!
So far I have a basket from Illinois coming....anyone else....would love to see some friendly competition between states or teams! :o)
UPDATE ON ITEMs/BASKET COUNT
WE HAVE 25 ITEMS NOW!!
Represented so far are folks from: Illinios (2), NY, TN, Alaska, California(2), Iowa (2), Texas(2), Indiana, Rhode Island, Alabama(2), Florida, Louisiana, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio, Louisiana, Michigan, Oregon, & Pennsylvania!!!!! & 2 I'm not sure of...and don't care!! ITs AWESOME!! (o:
ANYONE ELSE???
YOU ALL ARE AMAZING - THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Remember, ANYTHING goes!!
UPDATE ON RAFFLE TICKET SALES:::: Each raffle ticket will be $1.00 each or 6 for $5.00, or if you are really enthusiastic, $20 for 25 tickets!!
Please if you DO NOT want to participate, that is OKAY too!! This was just something I saw other PIR groups do and thought it would be FUN!!! There is NO REQUIRMENT to do this!! There is no pressure!! If all you want is to participate by buying tickets thats AWESOME!!
Thank you!! This is just to be fun & stress free & say THANK YOU to an amazing couple!

I love the basket idea. I'll start one for Louisiana! I'm not sure if there's anymore Louisiana moms out there, but if there are let me know if you'd like to bring something to add. I'm sure I can find some hot sauce around here somewhere!! Yep, we'll have a Hot and Spicy Basket!!

DTbowl, everyone seems to be doing different kinds of things - some are doing state-themed. Mine isn't necessarily state-themed but it will have some IL-related things. And my sister is sending one along with me, hers is just kind of a bath-related bucket. It is entirely up to you! :-)

Exactly like barefoot said - definitely does not have to be "state" themed. Anything goes here!! no boundaries, no requirements...ha, kinda in complete opposite direction of what our SRs are are learning! How ironic! HAHAHA
