This sounds like it could be a great Eagle Scout or Girl Scout Gold Award project! Any Freepers' kids headed for that? Our daughter is about a year away from being ready to do her Gold Award project, but I'll sure keep this in mind in case there is still a need.

I'm happy to help. Please send the address.

Ordered for express delivery, supposed to arrive Monday morning...hopefully. All they had at Cardinal Allegiance Medical supplies--19 pairs of large and 19 pairs of extra large Terry Treads (hospital slipper socks with rubber non-skid dots on the soles).

MoJo--Please let me know if they don't arrive as ordered. This is the first time I've dealt with this company and it was over the phone, so I need to know if they are trustworthy.

I'm going out now to get underwear and travel toiletries kits locally.

Cheers!
Patty

Thank you so much Patty. I will definitely let you know. Wow!!

Thank you to everyone for their contributions. Any contribution is greatly appreciated!!

would you let me know what price you paid for the slipper socks?...I can buy a box of extra large for about $36 and which works out to about $.75 per pair....I will get them unless you can do better...

I checked out one of the local discount stores...I am sending razors and small toothpastes and some floss type toothpicks....I also have some candy, and some granola bars and some brkf bars...I will send this stuff right to "Brad's grandma" for now since she seems to be able to send things over on a military plane....

[cherry]

If stupid here (me!) would just read her email, she would know exactly where to send stuff and money....sheesh.....

I have the address now so no problems......lol

Hi The Sailor. Sent a package out this morning Priority Mail so it should get there in two days, could be Monday though.
Just wanted to welcome you to FreeRepublic and thank you for your service and the opportunity that you provided here for me to do my small part for the wonderful men and women in our Armed Forces.

[MoJo2001]

Hello Aquamarine,

Thank you so much for your contribution. It is greatly appreciated.

The Sailor is currently on Watch and probably isn't available to answer. (Um, he better not be. He's supposed to be working. Hehe!) Anyways, he will see this message this weekend.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to FReepmail me. We are trying to get a newsletter together with information and other things for everyone that has contributed. We would like to show you how you are helping our Troops.

[MoJo2001]

We all do that kind of stuff. So? Don't sweat it. LOL!

[MoJo2001]

If you are sending contributions, please FReepmail me your name and where you are located. So? We will be able to privately ping you to let you know your items have arrived. Besides, I'd like the command to know who is sending the items.

Thank you!

Thanks so very much for the ping. I've been out of the loop lately (work related) and do appreciate being able to catch up and join in.
