AWESOME idea!!! Virginia has so many "home grown" products from apple butter to mayonnaise to sparkling cider.....I'd LOVE to contribute!!PHAW Webmistress wrote:Another ***off the top of my head*** idea.........
We all represent quite a few states - could we get something "meaningful" from each of our states - something that screams the state i.e. for Colorado a Buffalo stuffed animal or something with the mountains on it - the MWR officer could use them as prizes for any games, etc. that they are doing.
Suggesting this as the soldiers in that company/battalion will be from all over the united states and it might be kewl for them to see swag from their home state
I'll take care of NC--we can send some BBQ sauce if food is allowed. Please let me know what we need to dophjrsaunt wrote:AWESOME idea!!!

I agree with Four Play as far as not sending the original over, but it's great that we are sending Cousin of SOASOAPT or Brother or whoever.springparrot wrote:I just ordered the new palm tree to be send over!!!
I hope it will arrive to me in time to get it to them in time.

BBQ sauce won't be a problem - just make sure it's sealed really well and if its a glass container - bubble wrapped goodQuiet and Shy wrote:PHAW or someone else with experience shipping/sending stuff to the troops, what about shipping packaged foods?Tarheel Tail-Gator wrote:I'll take care of NC--we can send some BBQ sauce if food is allowed.

Take a bottle, and a vaccuum pump, and just slurp it out of the air near him.. duct tape the bottle shut, after capping it.LIPH wrote:How would you ship the smell of a homeless guy in the subway on a hot muggy day in NYC?PHAW Webmistress wrote:Another ***off the top of my head*** idea.........

Could just tear down Landry's there by the Light Rail Station, put up something good like a CBiP..
Not sure where that is. Only other part of town I really remember is an Irish bar named "Trinity something" near some light rail stationPHritz 01 wrote:Naw the West End is dead.
