We held a smaller sew-in at the Beazley Senior Center yesterday, and yet still managed to complete nearly 200 ACU field pillows. Along with hundreds more, this group of pocket field pillows will be headed to Afghanistan shortly.
Resurrection Church in Portsmouth is sponsoring the sew-in next Tuesday, and they gener0usly offered me a booth at their Fall Festival to promote Operation PFP this past weekend. I brought all the small ACU key fobs with me, set up a booth with Nick’s picture on it (I swear, my Soldier is SO handsome!) and some info about the project. Folks stopped by all day long to either buy a key chain, drop a few dollars in the pot, or tell me about their own troop.
So, now we have a little more money for shipping, and we might even snag a few volunteers from that booth. Thank you, Eleanor!
Until Tuesday then…HOOAH!!!
