NORWICH UNIVERSITY AND THE NU CLUBS OF HANSCOM AFB AND BOSTON GIVE BACK!
Join us as we put our Norwich values into action and make a real difference in the lives of our troops and their kids. We are going host a HUGE toy and book drive and need your help to make it a success. This is what we are planning:
 Book Drive for deployed soldiers: We are partnering with a great organization called Operation Paperback to collect books for our troops. Bring your gently used (or new) books and we will arrange to ship them. Operation Paperback is a Massachusetts-based non-profit organization committed to providing great reading material, and a fun diversion, to our troops.
Toys for the kids of local deployed soldiers. Any new, unwrapped toy for kids age 0-17 would be hugely appreciated. We will distribute all toys collected via the Armed Forces Foundation's Toy Drive. Help make the holidays bright for these special kids who will be missing their mom or dad over the holidays.

 Book and Toy Drop-Off information:
Saturday, November 7, 2009
9:00 am - 1:00 pm
North Reading Middle School Gymnasium
19 Sherman Road, North Reading, MA 01864
We need all alumni, students, parents and friends to join us and make a difference! Come by to drop off a gently-used paperback or a new, unwrapped toy - or stay for awhile! We'll need help packaging the books and sorting the toys. We'll have pizza and drinks for anyone who lends an extra set of hands to the sorting and packaging.
This activity is part of Norwich's first ever "National Day of Service" - we will be joining with Norwich Clubs from around the country to make a difference in our communities and to our Norwich alumni!
