Many thanks to the local Carrollton, Texas Walgreens and Krogers who gave space to the Airborne Angel Cadets of Texas to collect goods and cash donations this past Memorial Day weekend. Also thanks to our volunteers and the many kind people who so generously donated goods or cash to help us ship care packages for our soldiers serving overseas in Afghanistan and Iraq.
We collected 84 large boxes and a bit more than $1,500 over the weekend.
Most of those goods and cash donations will be quickly put to use as we have our next large packing party on June 5, 2011 at the Brookhaven Country Club.
Postage costs in May, when we had our last large packing party, totaled over $4,000 on close to 300 boxes sent to soldiers. So the donations will be put to work in short order. Thanks again to all who participated in helping our American soldiers.
