Northeast Iowa RSVP is beginning project to send Christmas cards to the troops

In cooperation with the Iowa's Bravest campaign, Northeast Iowa RSVP will once again be conducting a drive to collect Christmas cards for Iowa soldiers. 

RSVP Director Kathy Barloon is encouraging everyone to take some time to send a Christmas card to an Iowa soldier who will be stationed overseas during the Christmas season.  The card may include a message to the soldier and should be signed.  You can do multiple cards but do not put them in an individual envelope as all cards will be reviewed by volunteers before being sent on to the Iowa's Bravest contact in Waterloo.  The soldiers especially enjoy homemade Christmas cards by both children and adults.
 
The cards may be dropped off at the Decorah Library or mailed to RSVP, 202 Winnebago, Decorah, Iowa  52101.  If you have questions, call the RSVP office at 563-382-3717 or toll free at 1-877-806-0623.  The cards should reach the RSVP office by October 25th.
