Delta Theta Phi will be conducting the program entitled “Support A Soldier” throughout the remainder of the school year. Through the not-for-profit group “Adopt A Soldier,” DTP has adopted a platoon stationed overseas in Iraq. DTP will be sending monthly care packages to the platoon, and this month’s package will have a Halloween theme. Look for the collection bin in front of the DTP office every Monday of every week to drop off donations. A package will then be sent every month following the last Monday of the month. The final collection day for this month will be Monday, October 26, 2009.
Everyone can participate! Suggested items include:
snacks, personal hygiene items, blankets, comforters, white socks, laundry detergent, sporting goods, cough drops, footpowder, gel insoles for boots, bars of soap, stick deodorant, sunscreen, chapstick, baby wipes, dry shampoo, q tips, dryer sheets, eye drops, odd postcards, magazines, old electronic equipment
Themed items – candy-corn (the orange and yellow Halloween candy), “tasteful” Halloween masks/apparell
We cannot pack: aerosol cans, aspirin (as it is a blood thinner, but tylenol or ibuprofen are fine), carbonated liquids, anything with obscene or nude material
DTP members and students alike are also encourage to become pen-pals with students stationed overseas. Simply contact DTP at akrondtp@gmail.com, and we can help direct you to the information of a soldier not reguarily recieving mail from home.
Help us give back to those who give it all!!
Any questions or concerns may be sent to akrondtp@gmail.com
