One of our CC Riders, Rob Canfield, is currently serving in Afghanistan
with the U.S. Navy. He’s deployed with a Special Warfare Unit that operates
robotic devices to check out and disarm/explode IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices).
A number of us have talked about getting together a "care package"
of items from the CC Riders to send to Rob. Here's the plan:
If you are interested in participating here is a list of items that I've been
told Rob would appreciate. This list is by no means complete, so feel free to
add to it as you wish.......just remember it should be something "appropriate"
for the climate, dry, dusty, hot in the summer, and cold in the winter.

We also encourage you to include a hand-written note card with any items you donate, as it will mean a lot to Rob and others he will share these items with.
If you are considering giving a "PHONE CARD", one
of our riders who has done some research of various companies and rates, suggests
you check out the AT &T website, and the special section called "Camp
AT & T" that focuses specifically on various options for meeting
the home-calling needs of our folks overseas......you can check this out at:
www.usa.att.com/military.
If you would like to donate items for the package, just bring them on the train
with you and give to the Lord Mayor Robert Conheim,
Chuck Robuck or Toni Tidman (usually in
the Cafe Car). Please bring your items not later
than October 7th (final collection will be on Train 538 that
evening). We plan to package up the items and ship to Rob the week of October
10th.
Thanks!
