Friends of East Brainerd and the D.A.R. will be hosting an event to support troops on Thursday at 6 p.m. at the Heritage House Arts and Civic Center, 1428 Jenkins Road.
This is a free event with special guest Lt. Radzyminski, who has just returned from a 10-month tour in Iraq.
Attendees are asked to please drop off items to be shipped overseas to our troops. Items being collected include coffee, creamers, lip balm, hand sanitizer, wipes, lotion, sunscreen and snack foods. All items must be in new packages.
Also for those who have an affinity to sew, or who are adventurous to try, participants will be completing hand made hearts to send to soldiers and sailors.
