Kingwood Rotarians proudly collected items for "Care Packages" to our troops serving overseas in harm's way in partnership with the Blue Star Mothers of America in Kingwood. On November 28th, members of our club delivered all of the items and helped fill 285 boxes with lots of goodies to help show our troops that we love and support them.Charlie Buscemi, President of the Kingwood Rotary Club, presented a $500 check to help pay the shipping costs for sending the Care Packages overseas.
We also delivered several hundred hand-crafted Christmas and holiday cards created by students at Bear Branch Elementary School with a personal note from each child. Special thanks to Kingwood Rotarian, Kakie Palmer, principal at Bear Branch Elementary School, for helping organize her students to create these very special cards for the troops.
Kingwood Rotary also had a basket of Christmas and holiday cards at The Union Kitchen so patrons could write a special note to our troops. Each Care Package contained a special note from back home to let the troops know we are thinking about this this season, and throughout the year.
