The Brookings-Harbor Redshirts
want to extend a big “THANK YOU” to the Inmate Veterans Group of Pelican Bay
State Prison. Recently we were contacted by Karla Bauer who leads the Inmate
Veterans Group and by Robert Losacco, Community Resource Manager at Pelican
Bay State Prison. They both arrived to help us pack some care packages for
the troops on Thursday June 2nd at the Lighthouse Assembly of God
Church in Harbor.
After we had all our tables set
up and the items laid out for packing, Karla and Robert called for
everyone’s attention. They told us that each year the Inmates Veterans
Group at Pelican Bay have a bake sale at which different food items can be
purchased by the inmates. The proceeds are then donated to various
non-profits and charities throughout the community. During these especially
challenging economic times, the Inmate Veterans Group chose to donate 1,250
dollars from their bake sale to the Redshirts to help support the troops. In
addition, they also donated to many other non-profits and civic
organizations in our community.
We wish to again thank all of
those involved, and commend them for their good work and deeds. Their
donation will help the Redshirts this year with our “Christmas in July”
project in which we will be sending many care packages to two different
hospitals in Afghanistan as a thank you to our wounded warriors, the staff
and military serving there. Thanks also to our local Brookings-Harbor
community for all of your support; you continue to make our mission a viable
one.
Sincerely,
Frank Muller,
Brookings-Harbor Redshirts
