The Mission Beach Women\u2019s Club S.O.S. Committee is at it again. In honor of Veterans Day, we are supporting our servicewomen and sending goodies overseas. The boxes will be stuffed at the Nov. 13 meeting and sent out on Nov. 14. If you can\u2019t attend the meeting, please bring your items to the Olive Caf\u00e9 or Olive Baking Co. on Santa Clara Place or leave them at the MBWC before Nov. 13. If you have any questions, contact co-chairs Sarah Mattinson at 619-829-2600 or Nancy Person at 818-648-1203. Let\u2019s show the female troops how much we appreciate their service!
\nPlease note, our boxes can be the only care package some of these women receive during their entire deployment. Be thoughtful when you make your purchases. The things most requested by servicewomen are toiletries, cards\/dice, current magazines, jerky, and new or gently used paperback books (keep in mind that most of these women are between the ages of 18 and 25). We are honoring the sacrifices made by these women, so please do not bring expired food or discolored toiletries.
\nIf you can, please bring the following to the November meeting to expedite the process: blue or black pens, and completed or blank thank-you cards (we will fill in the blank ones at the meeting) to include in the boxes. Help will also be needed bringing the boxes to the post office the morning after the meeting.
\nThanks in advance for your participation.
