Beanies
For Baghdad a success!
The Beanies For
Baghdad service
project was
an incredible
success thanks to
the generosity of
those who donated
beanie babies,
pencils, crayons,
and cash. On
Friday, January 15,
50 volunteers
assembled Beanie
kits to send over
seas to US military
personnel who
will hand out the
kits to children in
Iraq, Afghanistan,
and Kosovo. The
response for the
project was
overwhelming! Thank
