VILLAGE CLERK NEWS
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS: THANK YOU
to all our volunteers, 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. We have received word that our unit will be heading
home beginning in October. A final shipment was mailed to our soldiers on August 22nd. Each month from
December through August, Team Hooligan volunteers held a packing day to box up donations for shipment.
In addition to boxes of bulk items sent to the unit, each soldier received individual care packages, NPB/
Hooligan/Wolfhoud tee shirts, and NPB caps. Books, magazines, CDs/DVDs, puzzles, games, and phone
cards were some of the items sent bulk for the soldiers to enjoy. Your generosity has allowed us to send over 10,000 pounds of
“love from home” in the form of your donations. Thanks to all who gave monetary donations, which helped to purchase items for
care packages and to defray postage. The Village is very proud of all its residents and businesses for the wonderful support you’ve
shown for this project. We expect our unit to remain at its home station in Hawaii for 8 months to 1 year. In the meantime, our vol-
unteers have “unofficially” adopted about 30 soldiers who are still serving in Iraq. Our volunteers plan to send them small individu-
ally-wrapped packages of snacks and powdered drink mix, travel size packages of baby wipes and hand sanitizers, and disposable
gloves. If you would like to help with this new effort, donation boxes are available at Village facilities, or you may drop off your
donation at the Clerk’s office at Village Hall. As always, monetary donations to defray postage are very welcome.
