| Greetings!
Are you attending pack day this Saturday, in Columbia, Missouri? We need your help packing 400 boxes to ship to troops in Afghanistan, we want to share our newest outreach program with you, and we want to have lunch with you!  This Saturday, July 19, is our 2014 summer pack day. We've invited EVERYONE that has ever been to a pack day to reminisce and promote some excitement for our newest outreach program, the Wounded, Ill, and Injured Warrior Support Team (WIIWST). We're serving pizza for lunch and are asking you to bring your lawn chairs and a cooler of soft drinks. Even if you can't make it to pack day, we hope you'll join us for the lunch and the launch of the the outreach program as well as touch base with the volunteers you've worked with over the years. See the schedule of the day's events to your right. Please RSVP; whether you'll be packing boxes or just joining us for lunch, we need to get an accurate head count for lunch. Click here to register/RSVP online, or call the office during working hours, 573-449-2003.  It's not too late to register! We really hope you'll join us. Scroll below for directions to our office and some important hotel information for those of you who are planning on joining us this weekend.
As always, the success of our pack days depends on you, the Marine Parents family. None of what we do is possible without your kindness, hard work, and generosity. We truly appreciate all that you do on behalf of our organization and our Marines.
We look forward to seeing you Saturday! Semper Fi, Marine Families!
