Hey, Team - Thanks For All Your Hard Work!

As we are about to wrap up the official shipping week for Round 3 of Operation Baking Gals, I want to say thank you! Thank you to all the bakers on my team and all the other teams. Thank you to the non-bakers on my team who shopped for and sent other goodies and necessities. Thank you, everyone!

In about a week or so, our soldier and his company should start to receive packages. Can you imagine being deployed thousands of miles away and suddenly being bombarded by 30-60 care packages from home? I wish I could be there when these guys open the packages and get a whiff of the sweet smells of home; cinnamon, ginger, chocolate, and more.

We received some great photos from team members of themselves, their families, the packages they sent, and even a four-year-old team member, hard at work coloring a special picture to include in a care package. The plan is to have all the photos burned to disk and mailed to the guys who received the packages.

The outpouring of support has been overwhelming and I encourage everyone to participate in future rounds. Just this little effort on our part has brought a huge morale boost to so many who are far from home, protecting our freedoms. Don't forget to check out the Operation Baking Gals Blog to see the teams of past rounds and to get information on future rounds. To participate in future rounds, please contact BakingGals(at)Gmail(dot)com. Remember, the next couple of rounds will be during the holiday season.

See ya for Round 4!
