Letters to Troops

Calvert Library Tween Veteran’s Day Event

                                                                             

Looking for something meaningful to do for Veteran’s Day?  Gail Black, local community volunteer, and veteran Louie Cano, will join us to share stories about the significance of letters to servicemen and women.  You can make a real difference by joining in this Tween event at the library. You’ll discover why letter writing is not a lost art, write your own letters to troops, and create original artwork to send abroad. Tweens in Grades 5, 6, and 7, please join us at Calvert Library in Prince Frederick on November 12, 2013, 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.

Local Community Volunteer Gail Black has been sending cards and care packages to troops for the past decade. She will share her experiences and help us kick off our Letters to Troops Campaign. Veteran Louie Cano will talk about what letters, even letters from people you don’t know, can mean to you when you are serving your country far from home.

From Veteran’s Day 2013 to January 2014, each branch of the Calvert Library will collect items for our troops. On January 14, 2014, tweens will come together again for “Packages & Pizza” night to pack and decorate boxes for shipping to our troops.

To register, please visit us online at calvert.lib.md.us or call Calvert Library at 410-535-0291.
