Kiwanis Club of Corvallis members
prepare donated goods for shipment to local troops in
Iraq.

Benton County Veteran's
Memorial, Inc. is requesting that the community donate specific items that
we will ship to our troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. These are creature
comfort items we take for granted each day but for our troops in who serve
in harms way,
they are in short supply and very hard to come by. If you would care
to donate any of the items on the following list, it would be very much
appreciated and they are tax-deductible. Please contact Les Whittle
to make arrangements.
