Stockings for Soldiers

Dear Stockings For Soldiers Friends, We really need extra assistance to complete this project. We have accepted over 10,000 troops (about 10% of troops in Afghanistan) to support this year and right now, we do not have enough items to fill their stockings.

Could I please ask everyone to help us by bringing over donations before Tues, Nov. 29th or ASAP and/or donating the funds that will allow us to purchase these items and ship them off on December 2nd? We've already filled 3,000 stockings, with only 7,000 more to go. 

THANK YOU fabulous volunteers. We still need every item on our List of Suggested Donations, especially

  • Slim Jims
  • Food - (small sizes of lasagna, beefaroni, tuna)
  • Cans of Fruit
  • Toothbrushes
  • Razors
  • Granola Bars
  • Peanut Butter Crackers

Won't you all make one more trip to the store for us?? Our troops would be so grateful for a little gift and remembrance during the Christmas holidays. Thanks, everyone, for all that you have donated so far. We need just a "little" more. For our local friends, please go to our website to see when Rick Jensen from WDEL Radio will broadcast live from the Stocking Store.

Be sure to stop by that day to make a donation for our troops and meet Rick.

You can find WDEL at 1150 AM on the dial. Our distant friends can listen to WDEL on the Internet at www.WDEL.com Let us also all remember our troops, serving their Country on the front lines while we are enjoying our Thanksgiving Day. They would want us to be home and safe.

Let us all send them our prayers of gratitude. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reDiz5nkxK8

Thank you! With much appreciation and Go WVU!

One West Virginia University student is able to pursue her professional dream.

Kelsey Webb, a freshman music major from Elkton, Md., was in need of a clarinet after a family tragedy put stress on finances, and a WVU alumni chapter stepped up to help.

To help her out, the Delaware Alumni Chapter of West Virginia University recently raised money to buy her the instrument. Webb's mother recently passed away after a battle with breast cancer, and a new instrument was going to be financially unattainable for Webb.

"I needed the new clarinet because at a college level, a music major really needs the professional model of their instrument in order to progress in the program," she said.

David Baum, president of the WVU Delaware Alumni Association, said the "Campaign for Kelsey" was able to raise $2,500 within 72 hours.
