  • Care Packages II

    We are going to do this again. Operation care package I

    Sometime in early Dec. I will send out another shipment of care packages for U.S Troops serving in Afghanistan and Iraq. I am accepting items and donations now. Let me know if your in. If you know of anybody serving in one of these two places let me know so we can get a care package to them.

    I could use all kinds of stuff or funds to buy the stuff I have a PayPal account you can use to help with this cause.

    PayPal Support
    If you don't live in SoCal but would like to help anyway, then you can help by donating some money, this will either purchase more supplies or pay for shipping the supplies to Iraq, and the more supplies people donate the more it's going to cost to ship, so please consider donating some money to the cause as well. To do this, simply go to www.PayPal.com and click on the Send Money tab and enter Joe's PayPal e-mail address in the appropriate box. If you're a PayPal veteran this is no big deal, if you don't have a PayPal account or have never used PayPal it's really very simple, just create an account on PayPal and go from there. If you need help, shoot me an e-mail or call my cell and I can help you with this.

    Joe's PayPal e-mail

    joe@superiorshine . com

    Note: Remove the spaces between the "dot" in Joe's e-mail address when sending funds via PayPal. If we type the entire e-mail address out as it should read it will turn the e-mail address into an Active Link and Joe doesn't need extra e-mail, the idea is to copy and paste his e-mail address, (without the spaces), into the Recipient's box on PayPal. Hope this makes sense.

    Re: Care Packages II

    Lets put a little twist on this shipment.

    I want to collect cards from you guys as well. Christmas, thank you, etc...

    Fill them out, sign them, include a pic of you and yours if you want.

    I will add these to the boxes.

    What do you think? Good idea?

        Hi Joe,

        One of our attendees brought some care package guys to one of the recent classes and I've stashed it in the cupboards.

        Question: At our local NAPA store they had a larger box with a slot for VHS Movies, DVD's and CD's, would this be something you would want to collect to send over?

          Great, nice start. That was quick!!

          I hear DVDs are very popular.

          PM me for my mailing address please or if Mike thinks it is OK maybe you could drop stuff off at Meguiars if that is closer to you.

          I wanted to make sure that I add this-

          You don't have to be for the war(s) to be for the men and women of our military. I personally wish they weren’t there but like my Grandfather used to say, "If your on the horse you have to ride it."

          A care package is just a small token of gratitude.

          “COME HOME SOON, COME HOME SAFE!” Semper fi!

                  Re: Care Packages II

                  It's official!

                  "Support Our Troops Night" at Meguiar’s Garage!


                  The date is yet to be determined, but we're going to have another Meguiar's Open Garage event to enable our forum friends to bring gifts for our troops to show our support for them during this holiday season.

                  We also have found a few cans of M16 Professional Paste Wax that were manufactured before 2005 that we're going to auction off to raise money to pay for the shipping cost to send these care packages to Iraq.




                  So stay tuned, when a date has been determined we'll post it to the homepage.

                  Thanks Joe for leading up this project!

                        Hey Joe, I still need the address of were to send the stuff to. I PM'd you on the morning of the 15th. Unless it didn't work. I just want to make sure I get it to you in time.

                        Is the auction of the M16 in person only or are you going to do it on the forum also? Just thinking you'd get more, if more people could bid.

                            I will check my PMs and send you my address. For some reason I don't get emailed an alert when someone posts a PM to me.
