Operation Desert Christmas

You know, there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of our servicemen and women doing a dangerous job far from home. As we enter the holiday season, it must be even tougher for them.

That's why I was excited to hear today that my company, Schweitzer Engineering Labs, is collecting items to include in 10lb packages which will be distributed to units outside the Green Zone in Iraq.

I'm going to be making a donation. If you'd like to join with me, e-mail me or contact another SEL employee that you know,

What You Can Send:

Current Magazines

Disposable Razors / Shaving Brushes

Letters and Cards to “Any Soldier”

Lip Balm / Shampoo / Deodorant

Small to Medium Sized Notebooks, Envelopes

DVDs – Current Releases / Classics / Seasonal

Beanie Babies (Soldiers love to give them to Iraqi children)

Small Toys / Novelties / Phone Cards

Almost Anything!

Please make your donations before Noon, Thursday December 7.
