The chapter is organizing two days when we will greet the troops coming through DFW from Iraq. We are scheduled for Friday and Saturday, August 25 and 26. The flights get in about mid-morning and there are about 275 troops on each daily flight. In addition to having folks there to greet them, we are putting together a “goodie bag” for each soldier. This will include some candy bars, gum, mints etc. Also there will be a note thanking them for their service from the credit unions. We will have a plastic bag for each, with the Chapter Logo on the bag.

We also will need some volunteers to go to DFW on those days and help greet and hand out the bags. Reports from those who have done this indicate it is a very rewarding experience for the volunteers. The troops really appreciate it. It takes a couple of hours each day, and parking is free.

We are looking for cash donations for supplies and a point of contact at each credit union to coordinate volunteers. If you are interested in donating or volunteering contact Nancy Croix-Stroud
