On September
26, Military Support
Committee members
and volunteers were
hard at work once
again collecting items
at the Homecoming Kit
Drive. Volunteers
stationed at Albertsons’ stores on Alicia Parkway
and Marina Hills, collected $2,380 in donations and
enough personal hygiene
items to fill 17 large boxes.
The items will be sorted into
welcome home packets and
placed in the barracks of the
single Marines with the 1st
Battalion, 4th Marine
Regiment. The Regiment has
been on a six-month
deployment to Australia and is
scheduled to return some time in October.
The City extends its deep appreciation to
Albertsons’ for its tremendous support of this event.
So what’s next for the Military Support
Committee? Coming up in November 11 is the
annual Veterans Day Ceremony at Sea Country
Senior & Community Center (see flyer for details).
The Committee will also kick-off its annual Holiday
Toy Drive that day at WalMart, with two additional
drives scheduled for Saturday, November 14 and
Sunday, November 15th.
