The kindness and generosity of the people in Cleveland County just keeps on shining bright. Read the note I received Wednesday from Kay Beam:
"Thanks to your "Random Acts of Kindness," article with the list of names in the paper, everyone wanted to do something for my son, 1ST Sgt. Rodney Arrowood in Iraq.
"On Sunday in honor of Veterans Day, Hoey Memorial United Methodist Church, helped my family to make 200 gift bags, so each one of the soldiers in his unit would receive something for Christmas. Thanks to Red Bridges Barbecue for helping to supply the items to go in the bags. I hope others listed will be as fortunate and receive packages from their communities.
"Thank you again, Kay Beam."
If you’d like to remember the troops for the holidays, time is running out. The deadline to send packages and make sure they arrive in time is Nov. 24. For information on mailing packages to soldiers, go to the Post Office Web site: www.usps.com/supportingourtroops. You can find a list of soldiers from Cleveland County at shelbystar.com on the Random Acts of Kindness blog under Reporter Blogs.
Your help is needed again - The Military Families Support Group needs photos of local soldiers for candlelight service
The Military Families Support Group-Cleveland County will be sponsoring a Candlelight Service at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 11, in the sanctuary of Central United Methodist Church honoring the men and women with connections to Cleveland County who are currently serving in the U.S. military services at home and overseas.
The candlelight service has become an annual tradition in uptown with the help of Fain Hamrick and other members of the Military Families Support Group.
A video presentation is planned this year, which will honor men and women in uniform with their photo, name, branch of service and current duty station.
To have names, photos and other information of military personnel included in the presentation, e-mail the information to milfamsupport@carolina.rr.com or mail the information and photo to Military Families Support Group – Cleveland County, P.O. Box 752, Shelby, NC 28151-0752.
