Monthly "Care" Packages being sent to Alex Dean from Holy Cross

Currently Deployed to Afghanistan

Alex, son of John & Jo Dean, is stationed with the US ARMY: 4th Battalion, 23rd Infantry, in Afghanistan and will be serving there for one year. We would like to remember Alex by sending him and his comrades a monthly care package. A decorated box has been set across the hall from the church office; you are invited to show your support by donating items. We plan to ship a care package to Alex around the middle of each month.

Any questions? Call Della Krug 273-6060 or Shirley Sjoberg 288-5080.

If you would prefer to donate money to help defray shopping & shipping costs, please contact either Della or Shirley. Please keep Alex and his comrades in your prayers. Thank you.

Alex welcomes letters too! One regular postage stamp is all that is needed.

Sgt. Dean, Alexander
