This year, the Lakeland District featured a special program, before and after the event, where the general public was able to send a “woman to woman” package to female soldiers serving overseas. Wisconsin WE CARE provided items from a warehouse of donations to fill the boxes and the Postal Service provided the Flat-rate Priority Mail packaging supplies. Attendees filled out the customs form and paid the military discounted postage. One Hundred Fifty boxes were filled and sent to the deserving women serving overseas.
