Helping Our Troops (H.O.T.) is a program designed to support our American Hero’s from Massachusetts serving overseas. They are an
all-volunteer, non-profit 501(c)(3) public charity home based out of Stoneham, MA. Their mission is not political, they are there solely to
help send love and support to our local soldiers while they are away from home and to provide them with the necessary items they are
in need of while serving our country. H.O.T.’s goal is to ship out as many care packages as possible to our troops on a monthly basis!

As of March 2010...H.O.T. has proudly supported 156 Combat Units and 3 Combat Hospitals overseas. Since the start of their program
(winter 2006) they have shipped out 7,152 packaged goods supporting over 12,000 soldiers and growing stronger by the day.

[jessickascarling]

i thought that's what price you had listed in the other thread but i didn't want to post it without knowing for sure if it changed...

[starlightluvsu]

ooooh can we bring baked goodies for fun to share.. or something?

[MoN]

^ I like that idea starlight! Lets run that by Sarah and see what she thinks.

Are you gonna bake them? Cuz I'd rather not poison everyone with burnt to crisp cookies lmao! :lol:

[xxthat girlxx]

Yes, we can bake and sell them with lunch.

[MoN]

Yayyy so whos baking what? I can help package them :) ,

Any luck with a BBQ sponsor yet? Christine and I have to go on an adventure into a few businesses sometime soon to see what we can come up with... I've been slackin...

[xxthat girlxx]

Packaging baked goods makes my head want to explode.

No BBQ sponsor yet :cough: Perrin :cough:

[whtrexgrl]

Bertera donated $100 and 3 free oil changes - but no BBQ sponsor yet :( I'm still working on Perrin...hint...hint Jarid

[whtrexgrl]

I concour

[starlightluvsu]

i can/will bake!! :D

[MoN]

Starlight, just so you know, the last bake sale was an expense out of an individual member's pocket, it did not come out of subiegirls budget, as will this bake sale. So are you able to cover the expense of purchasing everything necessary to bake the goods? If not its ok its not a big deal, we can do it at some other event, your enthusiasm and ideas are and will always be appreciated!

And any word from Perrin?

[whtrexgrl]

No...nothing...nada... :confused: :mad::sadbanana:

I had NO clue this picture was being taken.... HAHA...

[xxthat girlxx]

You didn't even say hi to me when you were there, Rach! :(

I had no idea you were there until you were leaving!

[whtrexgrl]

Rach - I did give your info as far as what your looking for and he said he would keep his eyes open. He did say it may be tough in the $ range because thatS what we can get them for but he said he would see what he could do. :)

[MoN]

So who, what, when, where are we going shopping for the care package items? :)

[- Rach -]

AtYou didn't even say hi to me when you were there, Rach! :(

I had no idea you were there until you were leaving!

Apparently I'm a dork.... and should've introduced myself. :-/ I stayed a until a little before 3. I'll def see you all soon!

Also: Thank you Christine!!! :D

[MoN]

Rach did you end up seeing anything worthwhile when you cruised around?

[xxthat girlxx]

So who, what, when, where are we going shopping for the care package items? :)

I'm honestly in no rush. I have Scoobies for Boobies looming over my head and the items don't need to get to H.O.T. until almost November, right?

[- Rach -]

Rach did you end up seeing anything worthwhile when you cruised around?

Sadly no. :'(

I may be scoping out one this weekend, calling the dealer tomorrow.

[MoN]

No that was the first Veterans Center we contacted. HOT sends them out every several weeks or so...

[MoN]

Sadly no. :'(

I may be scoping out one this weekend, calling the dealer tomorrow.

Good Luck Lady! :)

[xxthat girlxx]

OOOH. Okay. Ummm, we'll have to figure it out then.
