GHC is working on our line up of events for 2010. We will have a fun filled, action packed year. And with the deployment of our local Hood River National Guard members off to Iraq in September, we need to work even harder to get the funds for monthly care packages and their postage costs. It is going to be a long journey for our Heroes, so we are committed to working equally as hard, step-by-step to help them get their needed support from home.
First off, we will be scheduling middle school dances that will be held at the Hood River National Guard Armory every month. The schedule will be finalized in a few days... so, we will need volunteers to help with that.
In May, we will be having a "garage sale" at the Armory. So, start collecting all your goodies that you want to donate. We will need people to help get things set up prior to, during and after the event. We are looking for new or used items. So, spread the word.... We have an entire gym floor to fill!
May brings two events. Armed Forces Day and Memorial Day. Details will be finalized in the next week for event schedules and times.
July 4th Parade and Jackson Park Refreshment Booth. We will need members to walk the parade route, hand out flyer's, work the concession stand, decorate and ride in our float.
August - In conjunction with the Best Western Hood River Inn we will be doing and open house for our local Hood River National Guard that will be heading out to Iraq on Sept 11. Details to follow.
