Volunteers are invited to join Operation Shoebox New Jersey staff Saturday, Feb. 20 to help prepare personal care packages for shipment to U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan Tuesday, February 16, 2010 Volunteers are invited to join Operation Shoebox New Jersey staff Saturday, Feb. 20 to help prepare personal care packages for shipment to U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan in conjunction with the 5th anniversary of the organization. The event begins at 11 a.m. at the Kavanaugh VFW Post #2290, 600 Washington Ave., Manville. To handle the large crowd and to better streamline the packing process, there will be two shifts – 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m., and 1-2:30 p.m. Volunteers are asked to pre-register on the website at www.opshoeboxnj.org, and specify the number of people in each group and which time period they will attend. Volunteers will also be asked to sign in as they arrive that day. A light lunch will be available. Volunteer packers are asked to bring donations of personal care items for shipment that day, including snacks and toiletries. Check the shopping list on our website and bring along a bag of needed items. The packages sent overseas will include cans of tuna, cans of fruit, trail mix, beef jerky, gum, candy, granola bars, powdered drink mixes, coffee, tea, oatmeal, hot chocolate, toothpaste, tooth brushes, ear swabs, moist wipes, sun block, eye drops, soap, shampoo, socks, stationary, envelopes, pens, batteries and other items. Each package will also include a box of Girl Scout cookies donated by hundreds of Girl Scouts from the Heart of New Jersey Council that were sold during their recently-concluded sales campaign. Volunteers will also have the opportunity to sit down and write a short letter or card to the troops; all cards and letters will be inserted into the boxes. We’ll also add stuffed animals and other gift items for the troops to hand out to young Iraqi and Afghan children. Operation Shoebox New Jersey is a 501c3 non-profit corporation. All donations are tax deductible. Call Operation Shoebox New Jersey headquarters at (908) 698-0333 for further information or check the website www.opshoeboxnj.org. |
Message from the President- February 2011 I recently had the privilege of representing the NJMTA at a reception held at the Governor's residence Drumthwacket. We were invited due to the generosity of two of our members, Lacey's Express, Inc. and National Retail Systems, Inc. who responded to a request for tractor donations Message From President - January 2011 As I prepared to write my first article for the NJMTA membership as the acting President, my thoughts are focused on the recent tragedy that occurred in Arizona where a Congressman was seriously wounded and 6 others murdered at a political rally. I find myself asking just what is happening to our country.
