STAMPS FOR THE WOUNDED
WE HAVE SENT IN THOUSANDS OF CANCELLED STAMPS SINCE WE STARTED THE PROJECT. ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS LEAVE A QUARTER-INCH MARGIN OF PAPER AROUND STAMPS YOU TEAR OFF ENVELOPES AND TURN THEM INTO US.
WE NOW SEND STAMPS TO THREE GROUPS. WE STARTED WITH THE LIONS CLUBS’ STAMPS FOR THE WOUNDED WHICH AIDS IN THERAPY FOR WOUNDED SERVICE MEN. THEN WE ADDED THE ROYAL NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF BLIND PEOPLE WHICH PROVIDES SERVICES TO BLIND AND PARTIALLY SIGHTED CHILDREN AND ADULTS IN THE UK. OUR THIRD GROUP IS TUBFIRM IN NORWAY WHICH PROVIDES AID AND CARE FOR HANDICAPPED CHILDREN. THIS GROUP IS SPONSORED BY THE SONS OF NORWAY VIKING LODGE IN LAS VEGAS.
LIBERTY BELL AND FLAG STAMPS ARE VERY COMMON IN THIS COUNTRY BUT IN ENGLAND AND NORWAY THESE STAMPS ARE FOREIGN SO THE LAST TWO GROUPS ARE HAPPY TO RECEIVE THEM. JERRY LARSON IS THE CHAIR OF THIS PROJECT.
RONALD McDONALD HOUSE
WE ARE STILL COLLECTING POP CAN TABS FOR RONALD McDONALDHOUSE WHO WORK WITH LOCAL RE-CYCLING CENTERS TO RECEIVE MONEY FOR TABS FROM ALUMINUM CANS INCLUDING THOSE FROM SODA CANS, VEGETABLE CANS, SOUP CANS & PET FOOD CANS. YOU MAY WONDER WHY THEY WANT US TO COLLECT ONLY THE PULL TABS & NOT THE WHOLE CAN. TABS ARE CLEANER & TAKE UP LESS STORAGE SPACE & ARE MADE OF A PURER HIGH-GRADE ALUMINUM. ALSO TABS DO NOT INTERFERE WITH OTHER RECYCLING PROGRAMS THAT COLLECT THE CANS FOR OTHER WORTHWHILE PROJECTS. IF YOU HAVEN’T BEEN SAVING THEM & WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE SAVE THE TABS IN A ZIP-LOCK BAG & PROVIDE US WITH A COUNT & GIVE THE TABS TO ONE OF OUR OFFICERS. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP IN THIS WORTHWHILE PROJECT.
TACOMA RESCUE MISSION
PLEASE PLAN ON BRINGING THESE ITEMS TO OUR MONTHLY LUNCH FOR DONATION. THANK YOU.
