HOLIDAY REQUEST FROM USO

Bellmawr Education Association President, Regina Andrews-Collette, asked us to share this with you. During this holiday season, she asked if any of you or your members could spare time or spread a little good will. You may want to help her out with the following USO project. It is a gift wrapping fund raiser.

Each year, the Philadelphia Airport retail stores offer free gift wrapping on items purchased in the airport. USO volunteers do the actual gift wrapping. This program runs from December 1 - 24, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. This year, there will be two locations; the usual one in the B/C food court and the other at the D/E retail area. Although this is a substantial fundraiser for them, we are reaching out to outside groups for assistance. The gift wrapping shifts will run from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m.; 1 p.m. - 5 p.m.; and 5 p.m. - 9 p.m.

If you or any of your members would like to help out, please contact Regina directly at reginaac@live.com.
