For the next two meetings, we will be collecting any leftover Halloween candy you would like to get rid of and a letter to our troops for the Operation Gratitude Care Packages. The troops will love it--for themselves and also to give out to the children in the communities they patrol!
All types of candy are acceptable, including chocolate this time of year.Any girl who participates by bringing in a letter and candy will receive a SUPPORT OUR TROOP patch. Just by taking 5 minutes out of your day, you and your child(ren) will be putting smiles on the faces of tens of thousands of service members during a very difficult time away from home and loved ones. They and we will be forever grateful.Guidelines for the letter writing is as follows...What to Write About
Keep your message upbeat and positive

Ask questions; however, do not discuss death or killing
Avoid politics completely and religion in excess
It’s all about appreciation and respectIf letter writing seems too hard, have your child draw a nice picture
