Thank The Troops By Sending A Letter

(Indianapolis -- November 28, 2004) If you want to thank the troops overseas, there's a new way to do it starting monday.

The same people who brought us the Circle of Lights Celebration downtown are putting together an effort to get thank you cards in the hands of to U.S. troops.

Nanci Fields of Quality Connection says their goal is to send 25,000 thank you cards to troops overseas. Every Monday they will encourage folks to come down to the circle right in front of Emmis and where there will be a drop box from 11am to 1. There will also be a drop box at the IBEW office, and people can come by anytime of the day and drop those off between now and December 13th. The IBEW office is at 1828 North Meridian.

Blank cards will be available in the lobby of the Emmis building on Mondays around the lunch hour. All cards will be collected by December 17th and then shipped overseas.
