VILLAGE CLERK NEWS
THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING OUR TROOPS:
THANK YOU to all our residents, churches, and
local businesses for your generous support of our adopted military unit, the Headquarters and Headquarters
Company (HHC) "Hooligans", 2nd Battalion, 27th Infantry Regiment, (2-27 IN) "Wolfhounds" presently
serving in Hawija District, Kirkuk Province, Iraq. Each month, our wonderful volunteers hold a packing
day to box up your donations for shipment to our soldiers. In addition to boxes of bulk items sent to the
unit, each soldier receives an individual care package. To date, your generosity has allowed us to send five
shipments to our adopted unit – our February shipment also included 23 boxes of stuffed animals from the
children of North Palm Beach for the children of Iraq.
Would you like to help?
As part of our ongoing efforts, we’re selling Wolfhounds and Hooligans tee
shirts to help raise money to defray the cost of shipping and to purchase items for our troops. We also
want to send a tee shirt to each of the 300 soldiers in our adopted unit as a reminder that North Palm
Beach cares for them. Your $10 donation will purchase a tee shirt to wear or to send to a soldier, or a
large goodie bag; a $5 donation will purchase a small goodie bag. Monetary donations should be made
payable to NPB Support our Troops and mailed to the Village Clerk’s office at 501 U.S. Hwy 1, NPB FL
33408. Donated items are accepted at all Village municipal buildings. A wish list of items is on our web-
www.village-npb.org
site. We especially like small or travel-size packages of hand sanitizer, sunscreen,
hand lotion, powdered drink mixes, gold bond foot powder, wipes, chapstick, eye drops, and snack pack-
ages of crackers, cookies, or trail mix. Our soldiers are very appreciative – a Sergeant wrote to say “thank
you for the boxes of goodies that were sent to my unit for the soldiers. Thank you so much for your sup-
port, it truly means more than you’ll ever know. God bless you and you’re what makes America the great country it is.”
