Military Mail Christmas Card Drive
Due December 8th
Let’s come together to let our troops know how much we appreciate them by writing Christmas cards! All you have to do to participate in our Military Mail Drive is have a Christmas card and either write a letter or draw a picture, put it in an unsealed envelope, and then take it to the Yadkin County 4-H Office. Please hand write or draw these cards so it makes the cards more personal for these soldiers. We do ask that you make sure what you say in the card is uplifting and that the pictures are of happy things as well. We want to bring a joyful smile to the faces of military member’s faces that are receiving these letters during the holiday season. These cards can be dropped off at our office or mailed to us. A great time to bring them by is at the Holiday Food Show if you plan to participate. We will then make sure the troops receive your cards.
