We recently added the Ventura County Military Families Support Group to our calendar. They are an Organization formed to help connect Military Friends and Families. They meet every 2nd & 4th Wednesday of each month at 7pm at For The Troops, 2872 Cochran in Simi Valley.
If you don't know about For The Troops, listen up because it's an amazing Organization...For The Troops' mission is to send care packages to our front line troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. These packages contain such things as snack items, DVDs, CDs, batteries, personal care items and magazines, etc
If you know someone serving our country in Afghanistan or Iraq, For The Troops asks for you to contact them to request a care package with the serving persons name and address. They would love to send them a package.
