August 30, 2010

Hello Friends,  As we enjoy these last few days of summer, I wanted to remind everyone that the Military Support Group of NJ Inc. will meet next week Thursday, Sept. 9th for our 6th Year Anniversary meeting!  (The MSGNJ was started back on September 9th 2004.)   Please come on out, bring a friend or family member to see what we are all about.  Cake will be served! Coffee starts at 6:30pm and Meeting promptly at 7pm.

We are already starting to get ready for the Holiday Care Packages, which will ship out to our troops in November.  Each box will contain 30 to 40 small wrapped gifts for each platoon, candy, Christmas cards and a Santa Hat.    We are looking for NEW DVD movies (no war movies please, comedy is great),   NEW CDs of Music (any type),  NEW decks of UNO and similar card games, yoyos, harmonicas, etc.,  NEW Dominos,       NEW small paperback books, etc.   Please ask your family, friends, co-workers or church friends to help with these gifts.   You can bring the items to the meeting already wrapped in holiday paper or we’ll wrap them as we pack them up in November.  Thank you!

Also, Please be sure to visit  http://www.purplewishinggate.com/page/military    and use promo code MSGNJ for ANYTHING you order, as we’ll receive a donation from company owner Barbara MacAdam.  (We are always looking for funds for the shipping of the care packages (our biggest expense))     An order can be placed from anyplace in the world and the MSGNJ will still get credit as long as the Promo Code  MSGNJ is used.  So tell your family, tell your friends and co-workers.

Have a safe and wonderful Labor Day weekend and Please keep our military troops and their families in your thoughts and prayers.

Karen
