You will bring a big "Hawk Holiday Hello" to our fellow Iowans by mailing letters and packages of requested supplies. Special thanks to Justin McBride, Paradise Iowa Club, as ten Iowa Marines have been adopted through this program and supplies are reaching our soldiers overseas! Since this is a combat unit, e-mail is not available. For additional details, please contact Justin directly @ 239-677-1354 or mcbride_justin@hotmail.com. The three active units currently deployed are: The 833rd, the 164th, and D Co. Each unit consists of approximately 120 Iowa soldiers, and their mailing addresses are below: * * * DON'T FORGET TO INCLUDE HAWKEYE ITEMS * * * Unit Info: (home station locations)
List of Requested Items:
Tips:
Letter from a soldier's mom: "The individual snack packs at Sam's or Costco which are like ones you would get out of a vending machine work so well when the soldiers are out on patrol. They can stuff them in a pocket of their body armor. All kinds of nuts are available from cashews, mixed nuts, to plain peanuts----that provides a bit of nutrition also until they get to the next meal. Lots of candies come in these individual packs as well. A large bag of Trail Mix with a package of small zip lock bags to take small amounts on patrol is also good. I have had good luck with M&M's traveling well even in the heat. Homemade cookies will travel well if you wrap two cookies back to back in saran wrap----then put a layer of bubble wrap on the bottom of a Glad container and pack a dozen or so wrapped cookies into each container---put a layer of bubble wrap on top and then put the lid on. Put the Glad container full of cookies inside a larger mailing box and the cookies will stay intact. I have done a lot of chocolate chip, peanut butter, and oatmeal raisin this way. You can make these ahead, package per above, and freeze until you are ready to ship.----They love homemade cookies!! Plastic jars of Peanut Butter and plastic jars of jelly travel well.—They can put it on crackers. Also Easy Cheese---"Squirt Cheese"-----is good with the sausage and crackers---some of the guys like horseradish mustard on the sausage also and of course look for a plastic jar." Please let Justin know when your package/s is mailed so he can let the Unit know when to expect the package/s. Also, please let Justin know the total weight of your package/s. The USPS will weigh each package/s before they are mailed. If you have any additional questions, please call Justin McBride @ 239-677-1354, and he will gladly answer any questions. MIT Alumni Invites NEIAC Based on the rapport the NEIAC has developed with MIT Alumni, our Alumni is invited to their events. Since there are so many activities, please check their web site for activities and registrations: MIT Club of Boston College Fairs The New England Iowa Club has committed to attending the following College Fairs. We are in need of several volunteers to assist in promoting the interests of University of Iowa at the Fairs. Over the many years that we have had the privilege of representing our great University, we have met many alumni and former Iowans who stop by our table, now as parents or grandparents, seeking information. The volunteers, who have assisted us in providing information to prospective students, have found the experience to be unique, rewarding and informative (tuition increases, expanded courses of instruction). We usually have sufficient volunteers (we aim at three to four at each fair) to allow sufficient time for one to visit the other schools. The University of Iowa is one out of the five to six Big TEN Schools, who regularly attend the listed College Fairs. Please assist the New England Iowa Club's tradition of representing the University of Iowa at these Fairs! If you can volunteer, please contact our Iowa Club's Career Fair Leader Don Elbert @ donIHawk@aol.com or call 401-556-1201. A Theatre Event for you ... from Iowa Alumni in Boston ...
