Operation Yule Log for Pagan Soldiers
Although Yule is still a good six weeks away for those of us here in the northern hemisphere, it's never too soon to start planning -- especially if you're sending a Yule Log overseas. A Pagan group at Camp Bucca Open Circle (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CBOC/) is organizing a drive to gather Yule Logs and supplies for servicemembers stationed in Iraq, Kuwait, Afghanistan, and Korea. If you've got extra supplies sitting around, now's a good time to do something nice for someone who's far from home.
See group's press release on Witchvox which details exactly what they're looking for and where to send it:

As a way to show our appreciate to our troops, Pagans United
members will be sending care packages to our troops that are
currently serving in Iraq. We are asking that the Pagan community
get involved in this worthwhile endeavor by sending our troops
care packages.
Many of these soldiers do not receive anything from home and would
love to hear from you.
A fellow Pagan American and Pagans United member currently serving
in Iraq has graciously agreed to pass out care packages to those
serving in Iraq. Some specific requests that have been made are:
medicated foot powder, bug repellent, ladies ankle socks, tea
light candles, incense and mail.
These carepackages can be sent to:
