Help out Wounded Warriors Gift Drive
This is our Mary Kay unit's sixth year of the Wounded Warrior's gift drive at the National Naval Medical Center (NNMC). Every year we visit the Warriors we feel we have been blessed to spend time with those who have served our country and sacrificed to keep us free. We are privileged to spend an entire afternoon visiting with the Warriors and their families. Many have been there more than a year and they remember us when we return.
I am writing to ask that you make a donation of holiday gift sets to brighten a serviceman's life, their families, help ease the pain of being alone, missing their families and for many dealing with life altering injuries. Our Mary Kay unit is working with NNMC to not only provide gifts for the troops but also to provide gifts for the troops to give their own families and caregivers. Your generous donation will help bring a smile of thanksgiving to the face of those who have served our Country.
Our Mary Kay Unit will personally visit the troops to deliver the gifts, share the holiday joy and lift their spirits throughout the month of December! The men will receive Shaving Sets and the women will receive Perfume Sets. You are welcome to include a personal note which we will use as a gift tag for each gift you purchase. This is a wonderful way to show your support for our troops while sharing the holiday spirit.
There is no feeling in the world like giving a gift to someone who was sure they were forgotten or who will be spending the holidays without their family. We cannot help but believe you too will be blessed by participating in this endeavor.
All proceeds will go to the troops. Our goal is to have all 800 gifts purchased and wrapped by November 15th, so that we may start visiting the Troops in the beginning of December.
For more information, contact Cindy Bliss:

"Bridges" for teens - grief support
Calvert Hospice provides grief support for children ages six to 13 and teens ages 13 to 17 years of age through a program called "Bridges." This program is open to all Calvert County children and teens dealing with the loss of a loved one and you do not have to be a hospice-related client to access the Bridges program. "Death is a scary part of life, especially for children and teens,," stated Maureen Tores, Calvert Hospice Social Worker. "The Bridges program focuses on the specific way that young people cope with grief and loss by providing thoughtful guidance through the grieving regardless of the cause of death," Tores concluded.
Through the Bridges program children and teens are divided into age-appropriate peer groups where creative activities and discussion are used to assist with coping and healing. Adult family members learn the similarities and difference between child and adult grief. This process helps with the healing process of both children and the adults in their lives.
The Fall 2013 Bridges five-session program will be held on Thursdays, October 17th through November 21st (weather permitting) from 6:30 p.m to 8:00 p.m. at Trinity United Methodist Church 90 Church St. Prince Frederick, MD 20678.
Pre-Registration is required and the program is free to all Calvert County residents. Please call Maureen Tores at 410-535-0892 Ext. 2201 or email information@calverthospice.org
