I’m usually on the other side when it comes to caring about Notre Dame (as in I’m usually on the side that wants to beat the Fighting Irish), but since this is for a good cause, I’ll support it.
Salesian High School in New Rochelle, NY (nickname “the Eagles” – they know who to represent) will be collecting items to send to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan for Thanksgiving. Items include, but are not limited to: granola bars, oatmeal packets, cereal, candy, Ramen Noodles and pop tarts (and can I get a care package as well?). SHS is working in conjunction with Notre Dame’s New York Alumni Chapter in its Operation Gratitude, which is also part of the Notre Dame-Army football game, which is being played at Yankee Stadium on Nov. 20.
Donations can be made to:
Salesian High School
148 East Main Street
New Rochelle, NY 10801
Or you can email me at nomadblog.wordpress@gmail.com for more info. Donations should be received on or around Nov. 10.
