Tis the time to start thinking about giving back to others. This is a great way to show support to those at  Ft. Hood and others of our troops.

For those of you that need help remembering mark this on your calendar and contact this organization! No, you do not need to expand your computer memory to do this only your own memory!!!

Operation Circle Care Responds to Foot Hood Tragedy by Expanding Drive for
Yule Care Packages for Pagan Troops

OPERATION CIRCLE CARE GETS READY FOR YULE

Operation Circle Care is currently gearing up to collect and send gift
packages for Yule for Pagan troops for the third year in a row. This year,
we will be including in our program gifts for over 150 Pagan and Wiccan
soldiers and their families at Fort Hood, Texas in addition to deployed
soldiers serving in warzones.

You can request care packages by writing to program coordinator, Paula
Johnson at paula@circlesanctuary.org.  Family members can also request
packages for a loved one or friend deployed in a war zone or at Fort Hood as
well but they must include an accurate APO address.

We need donations of gift items that are small and easy to mail. Pagan music
CD's are in big demand.  We receive frequent requests for incense as well.
Pentacles are always welcome.  Witches Calendars would be great.  Altar
cloths for the Sabbat's and Moons are easy to mail and appreciated.

One of the MOST important things Pagans can do to support Operation Circle
Care is to sponsor the postage needed to send care packages.  Postage is our
largest expense.  One care package (APO/FPO large flat rate box by US mail)
costs $11.95 to ship.  We need the community to sponsor soldiers by paying
the mailing expense to send a care package.

Operation Circle Care was a huge success the last two years year because of
community support across the USA.  Requests for packages for this Yule have
already started to come in and it is our hope to honor and remember each and
every Pagan soldier we can with a special personalized gift for Yule just as
we did last year.

Anyone who would like to donate money for postage can do so on-line or by
telephone.  If you have gift items to contribute, contact Paula:
paula@circlesanctuary.org
