When: Thursday May 4th, 10:00am in the Cambridge Elementary School Parking lot
What: Shipment of items to the Wisconsin 32nd Brigade
The Cambridge Volunteer Fire Department will be receiving cartons full of love and care from the students and the Lions Club. Students in the 3rd through 5th grades have been writing notes and drawing pictures to include in the shipment to show thier support for the Wisconsin soldiers stationed in Iraq. This is a voluntary activity, so that we could ler Wisconsin soldiers know that we are still thinking about them day in and day out.
The 5th graders brainstormed ideas of what soldiers might enjoy receiving. Some students went home abd asked their parents who had served in the Armed Forces. After talking with Liz Nitardy and others, it was decided to send 1800 pieces of junk food and several dozen notes and pictures to our extended family located in and around Iraq. The Cambridge Lions Club aide the elementary students by helping with a major donation. The Cambridge Piggly Wiggly and the Wisconsin Packaging Corporation located in Fort Atkinson helped with reduced prices and free shipping cartons. The Goods will be packed on Cambridge Volunteer Fire trucks and will be carried to parcel post by members of the department.
