I have quite a few 3 ring binders I can donate to the cause. I will drop them by Sunday, if we come down. Other wise I can ship from here. Tell the kiddos thanks for protecting and shipping the cookies for me! See ya soon.

Thank you so much for doing this. I am sure it is really welcomed and appreciated by West and his fellow patriots. :)

Box 2 shipped yesterday, prepping box 3 (found a couple of 3 ring binders at home along with another pile of magazines, etc). 

Hoping to find more binders to follow, still need updated info on candy/junk food requests of fellow troops as well as need to round up an item or two to surprise with.

Ok, kids loaded up the first box! (actually eldest daughter loaded box while big brother guarded her from any infiltrators hunting down Niecie's cookies  :---  )



In Box:  2x 3-Ring Binders (1 large, 1 small), sheet protectors, separators, zip lock bags, pain killer, red coats, national flyers & talking targets, two of Chillidog's awesome stickers, and most important of all: 3 Boxes of Girl Scout Cookies from Niecie!

Should ship ASAP!  Shipped!

Adding items to list above.

P.S. For anyone with kids and no-one military in the family - this is the perfect way to teach them about the hard things we ask of our military personnel and what we owe them in thanks.

Techres... PM me your paypal info so I can donate a few FRN to this effort.  Having been in similar situations, I know how much of a pain in the ass it is to not have those continuity folders and how hard it can be to get basic office supplies while deployed.

Fellow Hoosier Appleseeders:

Indiana's SB West has given us what we need to get him what he needs while he is serving in Afghanistan.  This thread will be the coordination thread for getting those supplies to him without too much redundancy.  This is a working thread and not a chatting one, so please keep this on point. 

First off, West's APR is:

Brady Westling
455 EAMXS/C-130 AMU
APO AE, 09352

The current supplies he has asked for are:

QuoteSo, I need the following, if anyone can help.

3-ring binders, 1 1/2 inches up to 3 inches.
Page protectors
3-ring dividers (with tabs if you can!)

Of course, the guys and gals over here always love candy, snacks, good coffee, and drink mixes!

For anyone who has not done this before, it is very helpful and easy to do.  If you need help PM me to see how easy it is to do with kids along for the learning.

As West needs things I will ask he post that up and we can update this OP.  Additionally, as people send things out we should update the list so that we know what he has gotten and get it checked off the list.

So, let's get to it and get him what he has asked for a more. 

Thanks,
Techres
