Group will pack gift boxes for soldiers

Operation Hometown Spirit will be packing gift boxes for soldiers beginning at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 8, at the New Prague Library.

People are urged to bring greeting cards to be sent to area soldiers on the list maintained by the local Blue Star Families group.

Fifteen soldiers with local connections who are stationed overseas, have been identified and will be receiving packages. Anyone who has names and addresses of other soldiers is welcome to submit them.

Donations have been made to the group and they have purchased gifts for the soldiers. The group needs help with packing the gifts and getting them ready for mailing.

We're looking for people to provide some extra Hometown Spirit to Operation Hometown Spirit
