Support Our Soldiers xmas appeal 2008

Well im here again guys.
This week our SOS XMAS APPEAL has gone live.
If you can help in anyway please pm Myself or Onlyme for details.

Mick and Anne (although I think anne will be the last to know.lol) sorry Annehave once again kindly agreed to be a drop off point for any donations.

As your probably aware so many of our lads and lasses in our armed forces will be away from home and loved ones this xmas, also there are the few that dont even have family back home, so to recieve a parcel from people that dont know them gives them a moral boost and lets them all know we do support them and we are thinking of them.

you can help in many ways. either by making a monetry donation to www.supportoursoldiers.co.uk or by helping with parcel fillers.

Suggested parcel fillers

santa hat, selection box, sweets,
xmas cake, xmas pudding, sauce satchet,
nuts, raisins, crisps/snacks,
lollipops, biscuits, drinks satchet,
jam/marmalade,chewing gum,
toiletry items, socks/undies,
puzzle books, notepad and pen,
balloon and small gift.

All items must be able to fit into a standard shoe box, travel or mini sizes are ideal.

Prohibited items

Aerosols, alcohol, xmas crackers,
party poppers, lighter/lighter fuel,
matches, pornographic(even slightly)books or magazines.

The parcels mean much more than a box filled with seasonal goodies-They represent the support and good wishes of the british public and show our brave soldiers that we are thinking of them.

By supporting this appeal does not mean that you are necessarily supporting either war. we are a non political charity whose sole aim is to SUPPORT OUR SOLDIERS.

Thankyou for taking time to read this post and I look foward to your support.
