To the Barony Marche of the Debatable Lands and to the Canton of Steltonwald does Odriana vander Brugghe bid greetings.<br><br>At my daughter, Lady Alethea Cowle's school they have an after school club for children who would like to help others in the community called "Kids Care Club". This month they will be participating with the "Blessings in a Backpack" program - this program provides food to school-age children whose families are eligible for the school lunch program and who are unable to provide sufficient food during the weekends.<br>
<br>The children in the Kids Care Club have been asked to provide the juice boxes for the Blessings in a Backpack program that will benefit Kelly Elementary School in the Wilkinsburg school district. <br><br>What I am asking is that if you are at the supermarket between today and Friday evening, please take a moment to grab a package of juice boxes and donate them to this program, it would go a long way towards getting Alethea's club to their goal of 440 boxes. They will take any brand and any flavor juice box. Lady Alethea will be at a card table set up in the main hall at Archers to the Wald in order to collect any donations and to personally thank you for your assistance. If you are not able to attend Archers, and would still like to help, please send me email and we can figure out how to make that work.<br>
<br>If you would like to know a bit more about this program, the Post-Gazette did an article on the program that benefited Johnston Elementary in the Wilkinsburg School District (one of the other elementary schools in the district, now closed) last year: <a href="http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/local/neighborhoods-east/backpacks-filled-to-brim-with-food-for-wilkinsburg-kids-313011/">http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/local/neighborhoods-east/backpacks-filled-to-brim-with-food-for-wilkinsburg-kids-313011/</a><br>
<br>They are also featuring this year's program on WQED at 7:30 p.m. this evening.<br clear="all"><br>I appreciate your time and consideration and hope that you can help.<br><br>Best regards,<br><br>OVB<br>-- <br><i>Aude aliquid dignum</i><br>
