CUSTOMER APPRECIATION DAYS SALUTES AND SUPPORTS TROOPS
The advertising staff at the Lassen County Times is pleased to partner with 15 local businesses this year to help raise donations for the local Soaring Eagle Blue Star Moms chapter. Every month this group of parent volunteers gathers donations to mail customized, personally decorated care packages to the deployed troops abroad and the troops stateside, if they have enough items.
So next week, you’ll be able to do your part and help this worthwhile cause by purchasing items and taking them to the participating sponsors. To make your shopping easier, you’ll find a full page ad in this week’s paper giving you a list of the donations they could use and where you can take them May 9 through 15. Plus, when you drop off your donations, be sure to enter the Customer Appreciation Shopping Spree giveaway drawing and try to win your share of the $500 in Customer Appreciation Cash. Let’s show our soldiers support from their hometown. Feel free to include a card with a positive message that can be included in the gift boxes.
