$10,061.68 OFRW did it! The $10,000 goal was exceeded! Final totals and details will follow as soon as they become available. From
the Caring for America Chairlady and Co-chairlady THANK YOU!!!!
Those words don't seem sufficient enough for what YOU ladies have
helped Donise and me accomplish over the past two years for the USO
Care Package Program. It has truly been an honor and privilege to
be a part of this with all of you. You have all been such a
blessing!
We raised over $10,000.00 for our men
and women from Ohio that serve us with such distinction in every branch
of the military! Everyday was made a little bit easier for them
because of your support of the USO Care Package Program. Packages
were sent to our troops all over the world, from the dessert sands of
Iraq to the mountains of Afghanistan and here at home as well.
Not only money was donated but products of all sorts were
donated. Items that were handmade from helmet liners to baby
blankets (for the baby sea bags). This is the America I know and
love and YOU are that America.
I know I am a
little sad to see our Caring for America Project come to an end.
I need to thank some very important people that helped make this such a
success. First and foremost our President, Jean Turner. She
was always there for whatever we needed. Thank you Jean, for all
your help.
My Co-Chair, Donise Pick was extremely instrumental in
connecting us with the right people to facilitate our project. Thank you Donise for all your help and support!
Jeannie Soley
from the USO Armory in North Canton. Jeannie really was the
connection that was crucial to getting the money and products through
the correct channels.Thank you, Jeannie!
Last, but certainly
not least, a big THANK YOU to all of you! You have made a
difference in the lives of some very special men, women and families who
serve our nation. I will never forget your kindness and support ─ nor will they.
There is a tradition in the
USMC that I will leave you with: "Semper FIdelous." It means, 'Always
Faithful'. To that end let us always be faithful to our
God, Country, Family and each other! God bless you and God bless our great nation. Linda Burke, Chair

As we begin a new year and a new OFRW administration, we also begin a
new project. This year we will be putting our efforts into
support of the Ohio USO Care Package Program.
The
USO was founded in 1941 and since then, has been serving our men and
women in the military all over the world. The Care Package program
sends a little bit of home to our service members serving overseas and
here at home in times of peace and war, the USO is always there. As a
wife of a now retired Marine, I can tell you how much those Care
Packages mean to the men and women of our military. For some, it is the
only package they will receive and it means more than I can say.
The monies that we will raise will be given to the USO of Ohio and kept
here in Ohio for the Care Package Program in Northern Ohio. The care
packages will go to Ohio military members.
We are
asking our local clubs and members of OFRW to donate money for the USO
Care Package Program. We ask that your checks ─ either from clubs or
individuals ─ be made out to USO. By doing so, donations from
individual members ARE tax deductible. Checks made out to OFRW to be
directed to Caring for America are NOT tax deductible.
- We will keep
track of
all donations from each club and individual.
- We will keep our Treasurer informed
of
all donations.
- We will send the donations along
with
a letter from the OFRW to the USO.
- We will list all individuals in the
letter and amounts donated.
We hope we can really make a difference in the lives of people who
serve us so well. We appreciate your support for this very worthwhile
project.
There are many projects to
choose from and many needs
throughout our state. Please scroll down to view a
flyer
about the Care Package Program. Or, click HERE to view a .pdf file of
the flyer.

wether it be the value of product or money.
Thank you for all your support, if you
have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us.
