I thought the original post was about looking for a charity that keeps up the Lake environmentally.
But if anyone is looking to donate, Please, Please don't forget the troops this Christmas. I make up dozens of boxes just after Thanksgiving. I have had to cut down a bit due to not being rich and all, but I still get some out. Only about $10.00 per box. ( White or gray socks, foot powder, disposable razors, toothpaste, stamps, phone cards etc. Nothing edible or melt-able.) Last year I sent out shooting gloves and shooters yellow sunglasses....$$$$ Can't this year.
If you can't mail, or bring the boxes to the armory in Concord, you can donate to organizations that make up and send them for you.
You may think this is not lake related, but there are many men and women from the area serving. It would be nice to include a note and maybe a picture of the area in the boxes. Help them think of home. (The boxes are not given only to people from the Lakes region however)
Just another thought.....
