PLEASE EVERYONE KEEP THE VOTES COMING!  Time is getting short and we just can't slip anymore.  With Christmas just around the corner, please don't get so busy you forget to get your daily votes in.  Only takes a minute.

We all thank you so much for all the votes you are getting in for us!

Have a GREAT week and stay safe and warm!

I know how to cheat, but I won't. It's not fair to the other worthy causes.

Now, if all the other causes were to teach inner city kids how to hip-hop or text misspelled words on the phones all day, that would be another story.

Rally the "troops"!  Only 3 days left and we are back down to #4!  NEED TO KEEP THE VOTES COMING EVERY DAY!!  I know you faithfuls are doing just that and I thank you    from the bottom of my heart!  I just read an email with thank you's in there from Troops who are receiving packages from the BIG main division in OK.  Karen Stark is the founder and she has been so impressed with our little group in Elkhart.  There are Soldiers over there with next to no family or some with family that just can't afford to send things their way!  This project helps lift their spirits up and they find out there are people out there (strangers to them) who care and are thinking of them and praying for their safe return!  Warms a persons heart to know there are people out there like these HUGS people!  I feel honored to know some of them and that the FOUNDER even emails me!     She and her hubby Ray are HUGE supporters of all our Military and as the Mom of a Sailor it warms my heart to know people out there appreciate what he has to sacrifice. 
Ok, internet has held up this long, wonder if it will stay connected long enough to post this!  LOL!  Have a great day and stay safe and warm all of you!

I am voting with the rest, Annie - but once this "challenge" is over, what else can we do? I would be more than happy to go on a list of people who will send packages, write letters etc. Not sure how to do that, tho, as one obviously wants to go through a bone fide organisation. You mention people who have no one to send such things, which makes me cry! So if there is something you could suggest, I'm in! (Hope they don't mind things coming from Ireland...)

Want to help?  Send a check to the Hugs Project or to the USO or to the Freedom Alliance (my nephew was a care package recipient).  Money.  Always Money.  Don't know about Hugs, but the USO and Freedom Alliance are Tax Deductible and we only have 2 days left (both will be on my recipient list).  Wounded Warrior Project is another one.  The Fisher House (the military version of the Ronald McDonald House) another way of helping - these guys heal better and faster when surrounded by family and friends.  Fisher House makes it happen and they receive several checks per year from us.  Money.  Always Money.
