Sponsor a Care Package for Just $25
Care Package Project Spring Drive
Help our heroes receive a little bit of comfort from home by sponsoring a care package
for just $25. The care packages contain items for Marines such as non-perishable
food and beverages, toiletries, socks, T-shirts, and cards and letters of appreciation
for their service. You also have the option of sponsoring a care package in someone
else's name, in which you pay the $25, to have a package sent "from" someone else.
Sponsoring a care package is a great way to show your support for our Marines and
let them know that you appreciate their service and sacrifice.

Volunteer Appreciation Lunch
Reserve Your Spot Today
April is National Volunteer Month, and to say "Thank you" to all of our volunteers,
we will be hosting a Volunteer Appreciation Lunch immediately following pack day
April 20, which we strongly encourage you to attend.
At the lunch, we will be handing out Presidential Service Awards to our volunteers
who have earned them. To earn a Presidential Service Award, an individual must
dedicate AT LEAST 100 hours to volunteering that year (for adults and young adults,
children must dedicate at least 50), and we're privileged to be able to acknowledge
and honor those who give so much of their time to others.
Lunch will be catered and will most likely be barbeque of some sort. Sides, beverages,
and cake for dessert will also be served, and all of our volunteers will receive
a gift from the EGA Shop.
To get an accurate idea of how many people will be attending the Volunteer Appreciation
Lunch, we ask that everyone who wishes to attend PLEASE RSVP on the pack day registration
form.
We look forward to seeing you April 20!

Leon B. Deraps Scholarship Fund Raffle and 5 Mile Mother's Day Run/Walk
Sign Up to Support the Memory of an American Hero
On May 6, 2006, Lance Corporal Leon B. Deraps of Jamestown, Missouri made the ultimate
sacrifice for his country while conducting combat operations in Al Anbar province,
Iraq.
To honor Leon, his family, along with the Moniteau County C-1, Jamestown-area high
school FFA, set up a scholarship fund in his name in late 2006. Since its formation,
the fund has awarded $1,000 scholarships to approximately 20 Jamestown high school
graduates, with more being handed out every year.
Money for the scholarship is raised through an annual 5 mile walk/run/ride held
in early May. First held in 2009, this year marks the event's fifth anniversary.
This year, the walk/run/ride will be held Saturday, May 4, at 9:00 am in Jamestown,
Missouri.
We STRONGLY encourage people in the Mid-Missouri area to register for the event,
whether or not they plan on attending it, as a way to honor Leon's sacrifice and
support his memory. His mother, Sandy, is one of our longest-serving pack day volunteers,
and this truly is a wonderful cause.
Anyone who is attending pack day and wishes to sign up to participate in the event
will be able to do so. We will also be holding a raffle at pack day to raise money
for the scholarship fund, so we encourage our pack day volunteers to plan on buying
some tickets and help us honor a true American hero.
For those who choose to pre-register for the event before April 20, the fee is only
$25 for adults, $15 for youths age 12-18, and $10 for children under 12. Registration
after April 20 is $30. For more information on registering for the L.Cpl. Leon
B. Deraps Memorial Scholarship Fund 5th Annual 5 Mile Walk/Run/Ride, please visit

We also encourage those not in the area who would still like to donate to the fund
to visit http://leonderapsscholarship.org/donations.html [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001AYGn8XB4eZkC7kywz6LtIo9iwsdDzTZ7KrhkE7nI9hUSiwJn2Pb_UK9U9hCP1wWBJbfhcXlEMj9bMMGdgRINBaIDp1hmGSTju9LGNtzMijH4INgTAoXYSoQ_t14fQBL5ipbQfEI0ZOdHmk7FNM8muA==]

overseas are especially touched by the homemade cards they get from schoolchildren.

essentials.
