Utah Federation of Republican Women Sponsors Landstuhl Hospital Care Project to kick off Conference Goodwill Drive

Utah Federation of Republican Women announces a statewide campaign to gather outerwear for the troops in the Middle East in conjunction with Landstuhl Hospital Care Project (LHCP), a 501C(3) Non-Profit action care program designed to provide injured discharged military with appropriate clothing and other necessities for their return home. White cotton t-shirts and plain black cotton shorts are the key articles of clothing collected because they are comfortable, loose fitting, and light-weight for the heat of Iraq while remaining free from becoming obstructive to any equipment or medical apparatus connected to the cots. If you are interested in donating t-shirts and shorts please email lebeauxtrois@yahoo.com with “donations” and your locality in the text, for drop-off locations near you. Please specify your locality. Monetary donations can be made on-line by going to PayPal.com and entering ufrw@hotmail.com. Please specify in the text box “LHCP donation” if you are not registering for the conference at the same time.
Vickie McCall, director of the project on the west coast is pleased to have the assistance of the Utah Federation of Republican Women in a major drive to collect as many sets of t-shirts and shorts, or a monetary donation, from now until the announcement of the results of the drive at the conference, “From Sea to Shining Sea”, Saturday, June 28, ’08, from 11AM ‘til 4 PM at the Miller SLCC Campus in Sandy.
