Christmas Cards for the Troops, Christmas Parties in Manhattan

Christmas Cards for the Troops
Its time again to get some Christmas Cards written to thank our troops for their service and sacrifice overseas.
The Soldiers and Sailors Club has offered to include our cards in the care packages they ship in the second week of December.
Grab a box of cards somewhere and write your heartfelt Thank You’s and wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy Safe and Victorious New Year!
Address them to “Dear Soldier” and DO NOT SEAL the envelopes.
If you will be attending either of the Christmas Parties being held at the Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Coast Guard and Airmens Club in Manhattan you can bring them to the party and leave them at the front desk in an envelope or box addressed to Connnie Morinello, Troop Outreach Coordinator.

If you want to mail them to the club, place them in an envelope or box addressed to:

Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Coast Guard and Airmens Club
Att:  Connie Morinello
283 Lexington Avenue
New York, NY 10016

If you’d like to send more than just cards, money is always a good alternative, take a look at this page of suggested items for care packages for the troops:
