                                  WHAT TO SEND

They will want to know who is sending the goodies so, since this is a group project under "The Friends of TOFOG" banner - how about using the same stationary? Just click on the e-mail address : Norasyp@aol.com  

Note : This will be in Microsoft Word format. If this is a problem, or if you have trouble opening it up, please let me know .

Make sure your letters and packages contain this information :

            *    Name and Address    -    or it will be returned

                               WHAT TO SEND

Well, I'm afraid this is the detail I'm still working on. Out of all the sites that were given, only one has an address to mail to and that is for a Unit in Kentucky. But I do have an alternate idea ..........

Adopt - A - Unit

This is a program sponsored by the VFW where they will pick a particular unit and a serviceman overseas who will be a distributor of all we send and we can mail directly to him/her. This is not set in stone yet, I have e-mailed them for more information, but it is something to consider. I will post an update , when I hear from them, on the gruntland board.

 Adopt A Platoon

We have applied to be considered for this, but have heard nothing as of 03/19/03.        

                                    Operation Military Pride

This was recently suggested by Tressa.  

                                           Adopt a Soldier   

Another site, suggested by Tressa. I'd like to thank her for this.                                                         

                   

                             WHAT TO SEND

In keeping with the initial idea of everything done under the banner of "The Friends of TOFOG"  being noted in some way so we can look back on the year, I want to ask that you post what you send on the ezboard site. There will be no names listed,  but I think it would be cool to see what and how much we send. I will set up a forum for this alone.

The address is :     The Friends of TOFOG EZ Board

AND FOR THOSE THAT WANT TO DO SOMETHING RIGHT AWAY........ HOW ABOUT :

                                 WHAT TO SEND

There are two sites that will do this:

Australian Troops :    Troop Greetings - Australia  

                                            Troop Greetings - Australia  ***NEW     

US Troops :                    Troop Greeting - US

Note :     We are currently trying to see if they have a service like this for British Troops as well.

 

BIG THANKS to  EVERYBODY who provided all the links used in the construction of this page at the site.

I couldn't have done it without you.
