Mayor’s 100 Club

By  | 
To Whom It May Concern:
    It is again time to step up and support our Blue Star/Gold Star Mothers of Central, which is in support of our troops overseas. This year the Blue Star/Gold Star Mothers have actually formed a chapter within the Central area and are currently meeting at Caliente on the second Monday night of each month. Your donations this year will go directly to help service people from our immediate area.
    This is the sixth year that I have come to you asking that you participate in the Mayor’s 100 Club by supporting our effort with a $100 or more donation to this organization. Due to your support for the past five years, we have been able to donate over $24,800 in cash, plus numerous boxes of supplies, for these moms to send to their loved ones overseas. The cash can be used for shipping, which is expensive, or for purchasing needed additional supplies. Any contribution you wish to make will be greatly appreciated.
    We are again asking businesses, churches, schools, and individuals who have supported this effort in the past to once again help this year. We would appreciate any help in getting other individuals involved in this worthy effort.
    Please deliver your check (payable to Blue Star Mothers of LA), or supplies, to my office at 13421 Hooper Road, Suite 8, Central, LA 70818 by September 30, 2013. You may enclose a personal note or message which can be forwarded to these service people.
    What do you get from your donation? The satisfaction of showing our troops that we care about them while they are away from home and their families. Your participation shows these men and women that they have your support.
Thanks again,
Shelton S. “Mac” Watts
Mayor
