St. Petersburg Area ChapterMrs. Anita Harrow is the chair of the HOT committee. Please help Anita in any way that you can to continue this valuable program.
The Chapter supports our combat troops in the far corners of the world through a program called Help Our Troops (HOT), chaired by Mrs. Anita Harrow. This program collects needed items (what the troops say they need) and mails those items to them. As of mid 2011, we have sent over a 1,000 boxes of "goodies" to support our troops.
This worthy program has "caught on" in the local community, with donations from various drug stores, dentists offices, and even bridge clubs.
I've attached a list of personal size items that the troops would like. Should you wish to donate plain old hard cash, that would also be greatly appreciated, since it costs us to mail the boxes. Checks can be mailed to SPA-MOAA, PO Box 7054, St. Petersburg, FL 33734-7054
