Operation Love From Home - UPDATE!

Via email from the unstoppable Kat:

Today's Official Update:

Official tally for November 13, 2006: 3,259

This, of course, does NOT include the five LARGE boxes and 12 FAT envelopes that came in today's mail. Nor does it include approximately 100 cards gathered to date by a couple local businesses.....

Also does NOT include the "[amount unknown]" I collected at Church over the past two weeks, nor does it include whatever a local Chamber of Commerce has been gathering and has stashed away for me!!!!!!! Have been aiming for at least 4,000 -- I'm thinkin' I oughta just up the goal to 5K at this rate!!!

WAY TO GO EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why stop at 5000, lets try to get her 6000 cards by November 30th!

Send your signed, unsealed holiday cards to:

Mrs. Kathy Orr
OPERATION: LOVE FROM HOME
P.O. Box 1660
Loganville, Georgia, 30052
The cards can be handmade or store-bought... for that matter, they don't even have to be cards; a hand-written or typed letter is just as wonderful! This is a great opportunity to get your Scout troop, school, church and other civic organizations involved in doing something to show support for our troops.

If you wish to send an email greeting (which will be printed off and mailed along with the holiday cards), please send an email here.

**IMPORTANT GUIDELINES: This is not a "dating service" of any type. Please do not send suggestive or otherwise inappropriate cards or materials. Please also refrain from making political statements of any nature. I will be reading and screening every card received to ensure that the above guidelines are adhered to. Remember: This is strictly to let the troops know that we love them, we are proud of them and that we HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN them! If you have any questions, please contact me here.
