You can give me one Hun……….Theirs only me in my office but there’s an accountants upstairs so I’ll stick one in the entrance area and see what happens.

Really pleased to see this come around again, I thought we could put half a dozen good boxes together this year from Preferred Care Ltd. I know how much a good box of goodies goes down at Christmas. I’ll give you a knock when there done Mal……

Q: Can we choose to between male and female personnel; and can we enclose a Christmas card.

On a personal note; I’d like to see a much higher profile of our service people this year, we seem to be forgetting that their out there fighting, it doesn’t matter if you anyone agrees or disagrees with the war or the politics of it, these are our people facing harsh conditions and personal danger, we have lost one member of our extended family out there and there’s the potential threat for others who are serving, it’s ok remembering them each November, but it would be far better if we didn’t forget them while they are here fighting, nor should we forget those training, their trainers and the vast array of support teams serving at home and abroad.

Will see if youngest members and Adult members will try to set up some boxes as well as work mates.

Doug Its entirely upto you what sex you donate to hun. I have had as many donations for female soldiers as I have for male. It is all appreciated.
Yes you can send a xmas card , once again you choose wether its to a male or female. I make both male and female boxes up and get replies from both too.

I agree doug its so important to keep our lads and lasses at the forefront of peoples minds, its so easy to forget them with the (out of sight out of mind syndrome)
They work very very hard and really are doing a dangerous job out there.

Iam trying to raise a bit more awareness this year so watch this space, also feel free to do your own bit too Im here should you need any help or advice. you can also email me at [email protected]
