Hi everyone! Some of you know me but I'm seeing a lot of new faces here.

To start off with I would like to let you know that I have been approved as a donor for Operation Santa Claus where I have been approved to supply hand-made soaps for the Canadian troops overseas at Christmas. Here is a copy of the letter I received from the Canadian Forces:

Hi Lindalu

Thank you for showing your support to our deployed soldiers.

Op Santa Claus would be more than willing and pleased to accept your hand-made soap for our holiday parcels. This year we are expecting to have approx 5,000 soldiers away from home over the holiday season and it would be ideal if we could have a soap for each of their parcels.

Please let me know your thoughts. I look forward to working with you to make this happen.

Again, thanks for caring about our soldiers.

So obviously I can't do 5,000 soaps all by myself so I am asking for help. I need to give them an estimate of how many soaps I will be sending by June. Anyone who feels they can contribute to this would be so very much appreciated. As I have enough soap to be sent out they will send a courier to me for pick-up. Anything you can do will help even if it's just 2 or 3 bars, it really does all add up. I have committed to at least 120 bars.....

If you have any questions, please let me answer them.

Tabitha if I have put this in the wrong Forum, please move it to where it should be. I truly appreciate the approval from you and the rest of the Mods.

Cheers
Lindy
 
Update - Voyageur Soap & Candle Supply in Langley, BC has donated 1,000 bars to Operation Santa Claus! They are also going to partner with us by matching any soap donations sent in through them and they will be putting it out in their newsletter!
