support our troops love & joy from dolan!

Good Morning Precious Family,
I trust all went well down south.  I was with you all in Spirit!  I don't remember if I sent you this or not, so sorry if I already did.  This is something my church is putting together again.  It is awesome.  Just passing it along; maybe someone on your blog might want to contribute, if nothing else, then additional Prayers that we collect alot and of course for the healthy return of our troops, whenever that may be!
Much Love,
Dolan

CHRISTMAS IN JULY
 
The St. James Parish Council is sponsoring a Christmas in July Event as part of its outreach program. We will be collecting items needed by the troops rehabilitating at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington DC from war injuries while serving in Afghanistan and Iraq. Below is a list of items needed by the troops (who have limited resources), that are not furnished by the government or by Walter Reed Hospital.
 
Please deliver all items to the Church by August 4th. There will be a Sort and Pack Day on Saturday, August 4th at 10:00 a.m. in Room 6 of the Parish Center. All parishioners are welcome to come and help. If you have any questions, please call Julie at 762-3870 or Esther at 762-4644.
