I can't tell you just how thankful, grateful and blessed I feel for our group. There are so many Special Thanks to give -
First of all - Our Volunteers - what a group of caring, dedicated people to have. Each month they show up with bags and bags of goodies for us to mail, in addition to cooking up a dish to share for our pot luck dinner afterwards. God Bless each and everyone - and Merry Christmas to all......
I'd like to thank Senior Services of Central Illinois - they collected goodies and filled 248 Christmas stockings for us to mail - WOW !! Thanks to Angie J, and Karen Z for coordinating all of this. (and I'm sure there are others)
Bank of Hillsboro - Retired General Willie C -
They also collected goodies for us to mail, in addition to giving us a check for $60.00 to help with postage. Thank you !
Beth Ogilvy - Each year, for about the past 5 years now, her students through her dance studio have donated Christmas stocking for us to mail - Thank you !
Girl Scout Troop 6927, 6368, and the Troop leaders who came out and helped us pack up all our goodies - I know all of the girls had a great time. Ruthie Smith's grand daughter Tiffany had asked about assisting us ! What a treasure she and her Troop is ! 
Thank you to Mary Beth Dillman, who held a Girl Scout Troop event at the Mall, for the girls to sign cards and write letters to our Troops over seas..............Thank you
I'm sure I'm missing someone or some Company, and if so I apologize...........
THANK YOU ALL, AND GOD BLESS 
MERRY CHRISTMAS
