BUT - THANKS!
 
7 MAJOR boxes to units left midwest this week. We are attendeing a Church event next week with 50 local families that will be packing and donating personal contents and boxes to leave next week (i will add cigars to their boxes :) ).

I suspect at least this many more leaving next week for the fine units on the OpFTH active shipment list.

EVERY unit on the list will get something this Christmas from OpFTH!

Thanks to all that have donated time or efforts to this cause during the season.

All the details can be found on our website www.opfth.com in the forums UNITS sections.

That's Just Fabulous....having been a benefactor of these it makes it more enjoyable to hear other folks getting the benefit too.

Great Work Smitty to you and the rest of the OpFTH Crews.

Thanks to all that have supported us this year. We are well over 1300 lbs of goods shipped to the troops this year already.
 
15 boxes just left Midwest office totaling 331 lbs to 15 targets in Iraq. This is only part of a shipment we are organizating with a local church group that host us in a "Support our troops" program here.

at least 15 more boxes and more goodies to leave later today or next week when we transport them to the post office .

Details on the www.opfth.com forums.
 
17 more boxes left OpFTH Midwest today to add another 471 lbs of goods shipped to the troops. This makes the december totals 802 lbs and $488 in shipping.

Most of the bulk of this came from a local presentation and program I attended at a church that had the families bring donations of goods and wrote letters and and drew pictures and then packed boxes up.

It was a great honor to be included and chance to get the OpFTH information out.
 
Secret Santas get in the act too :)


I just recieved a package from Tony-NY secret santa where he shipped 30 great cigars to the troops in your name tony.

Not sure if you want me to announce who it is but thank you both for thinking of the troops this season.
 
2006 Totals:

A special thanks for all the support and donations this year. This has been a great year for Operation from the Heart!

We have shipped over 2000 lbs directly to the Troops this year (2147 lbs). 100% of that is donations by some great people and organizations.

This year we expanded and included a new “Agents” program which allowed us to reach out to more communities and open our doors to more and more people. I am Thankful for those agents that have joined us this year and we are blessed to have some really great people involved with us.

Our website is becoming more active and our forums are starting to pick up more. All of our donations are acknowledged there and every shipment is documented there with details of who it was shipped to and when. So if you donated anything you should have a personal thank you on the “recognition” threads.

Since we were awarded our 501©3 non profit status , we have been swamped with paperwork (IRS forms and documents and receipts etc) I expect this year to bring more and more donations and documentation. It is becoming a second fulltime job for me (that’s a good thing I guess). We are figuring this thing out and learning more and more each day. We will be having more fund raising this year to help off set our shipping costs (my own shipping expense was over $600 in December).

We plan on expanding and updating our logo this year and website. We will also be offering direct sales of “OpFTH Gear” (t-shirts and hats etc) soon as “Promotional items”. You can still buy our stuff on café’ press if you want to show your support and get us some exposure in the mean time.

We have started to expand our grasp to local schools and churches around us and have spoke at “Support our Troops” events. It has opened up our organization to more then the cigar communities that we started out with and is a huge step for us. We have had mentions in local news papers, radio shows and other website now. Feel free to promote us on your other forums and websites (myspace). We have a myspace account now with great tributes and photos too. Check it out at www.myspace.com/opfth



Thank you all for your support in 2006!

Please continue your generosity in 2007. We need it more then ever now.
