NOTE: I neglected to say in my original post that additional prizes are expected, so be sure to stop back occasionally to check out the prize bundles! AUTHORS: If you still want to participate, it's not too late! Email me if you're interested in donating a prize!
Okay, this is going to be a lengthy post because I have lots to cover!
It's time for the '07 Holidays for the Troops Project and we are hopeful that this will be our most successful campaign to date! Below are details about the project, and an impressive listing of prizes generously donated by authors and readers alike. These prizes will be drawn for at the end of the project.
Most of you probably know how this works since this is the third year we've done it, but here goes:
Donations of either items to be sent to the troops or checks, money orders or gift cards to be used to shop for and ship items to our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan are being collected. This link - http://lorifoster.com/author/militarytribute.htm - will take you to a detailed listing of suggested items in the event you would like to do your own shopping for the troops. In addition to the items on this list, holiday items such as lights, decorations, ornaments, cards, etc. are much appreciated. If you don't have time to shop or don't want to be bothered with shipping, please consider sending a check, money order or gift card. Stores that I frequent when shopping for the troops are WalMart, Target, Meijer, Kroger and CVS.
The deadline for donations will be Saturday, November 24, when I will draw names. Winners will have four days to claim their prize; if contact is not made within that time, a different winner will be chosen for that prize. Cards and letters from those who donate are also welcome and greatly appreciated. All donations should be mailed to me:
Laurie Damron
146 Page Court
Delaware, OH 43015
If you have a blog it would be appreciated if you could give a little shout about our project and provide my email addy, ljodamron@gmail.com as a contact for more information or for answers to any questions.
Please note that there is absolutely nothing political about this project. It is simply a show of support for the men and women who serve our country.

You are just fabulous, Laurie! The troops have a special angel in you :) I hope this year turns out better than ever.
I second what Stacy said :)
Great job Laurie. Awesome the prizes as well as the whole concept. I hope it rocks again this year.
*clapping* Wonderful, Laurie!!
I third what Stacy said! You completely rock!!!!
Laurie,
Thanks to you and all those persons
who are involved in this wonderful
project with you. Thanks also for
giving us the opportunity to join
you in providing a bit of holiday
cheer for our military men and women. The four members of our family who served in Iraq are all safely home now. My prayers are that all those currently in Iraq
will be returned to their own
families soon. God bless these
steadfast young people and God
bless America!

Laurie,
You ROCK, but we already knew that.
Hugs,
Tee
Wow, Laurie, you came up with some totally awesome prizes. Thanks again for all your efforts.
Laurie, what would we all do without you? Look at the awesome packages you've put together! And I know you have all that work ahead of you in packing up and mailing stuff to the troops.
You are an angel on earth.
Thank you a gazillion times over!
And thanks to all the authors who contributed so generously, and the readers who follow up and give with their hearts.
Hugs to all!
Lori

Thanks for being so wonderful and leading this project.

You are wonderful Laurie! Just letting you know my blog about it goes up tomorrow (Sunday)!
Like everyone said, you're doing a wonderful job!
It never ceases to amaze me how generous romance authors/readers are. I think we're a very giving bunch. Thanks for doing this. Like a few others- I placed my check in the mail.
This is a wonderful thing you are doing!
