CHRISTMAS FOR OUR DEPLOYED SOLDIERS WITH SL MAYOR CORROON
We are proud to announce again this year that we are partnered with SL County Mayor Peter Corroon in an effort to provide tangible support for our soldiers for the upcoming Holiday Season. Recognizing the sacrifices of our own Utah service men and women, and the difficulty of accomplishing their given tasks, especially as the Holidays draw near, Mayor Corroon is calling upon all County Employees, and citizens alike to generously contribute. Beginning Monday, November 12th through Monday, December 3rd there will be donation containers in the Office of the Mayor (N2100) as well as in the Atrium of the North building, and the cafeteria in the South Building, at the County Government Center; 2001 South State Street, SLC, Utah. The buildings are accessible M-F, 8am-6pm. Please help us to fill Christmas stockings for these wonderfully brave patriots who have answered the call to duty. There are so many of our own Utah National Guard and Reserve soldiers serving in harms way, and as grateful citizens and neighbors, assuring them that they have not been forgotten is the least we can do. Each contribution, no matter the size makes an incredible difference in the life of a soldier. All we ask is that you do what you can…write a “Dear American Soldier” letter of support, donate items to fill the stockings, or contribute monetarily (see box on home page for info) to assist in the shipping of boxes to the Middle East. YOU have a wonderful opportunity to boost the morale and lift the spirits of a tired, homesick soldier this Christmas. Please, add a soldier to your Holiday shopping list. We thank you for your generous support. Check out our website @ www.sendyoursupport.org for other drop locations for your contributions.
May there truly be peace on earth in the coming year,
Carla J. Hitz
