The Women Marines Association held an overseas packing event in Nov. of last year.

Their goal was to pack 240 Christmas for overseas troops at the Romeo Masonic Lodge in Romeo, Michigan.

For this event, VFW post 334 was able to donate $1,000 in food items.

Additionally, Daniel Axford, Oxford Elementary Schools, Kingsbury Country Day School and Oxford & Clarkston Middle Schools made over 500 Christmas cards for the troops that were included in the boxes.

The cost of shipping these boxes is $18.50. To support this cause checks can be made out and sent to WMA Motor City MI-2, PO. Box 590, Romeo, MI 48065. — M.K.
