Benefit Dinner for a Good Cause
Where Families Are Army Strong
I am sad to announce that we recently lost a soldier from the 117th Cavalry to a motorcycle accident. They family will be dealing with a myriad of changes and must still maintain their daily functioning. I am asking for volunteers to make dinners that can be stored in a freezer so that this family does not have to worry about making dinner. My hope is that we will be able to make enough meals between al of us that they can go for a month without worrying about cooking during this time. If you are willing to make a dish for me to bring to them, please contact myself or Michele at the Woodbury FAC and let us know what you will be making (I don't want them to have to ea lasagna everday for a month). Any help is greatly appreciated. If you are unable to prepare something and would like to make a donation in the form of a catered meal or gift card, please let us know as well. The family lives in Bridgeton, New Jersey and I will be taking meal to them on a weekly basis. Thank you again for all you do for our soldiers and each other!
This was made by some of our own, I hope everyone is able to open it from the site and watch it.
The Educational Information & Resource Center (EIRC) is holding a parenting workshop entitled "Dealing with Children's Feelings" this Wednesday from 6:30 to 8:30p.m. at 606 Delsea Drive in Sewell, New Jersey. For those of you with delpoyed spouses, this may be a good source for information on how to handle the emotion your children are showing while your soldier is deployed. The site in Gloucester County offers a different course each month. The following are some other upcoming courses:
If you live near Lindenwold, Clayton or Gloucester City and would be interested in a part time job working in the schools, please contact Heather Altman at 856-582-7000 extension 133 for more information.
