2. A volunteer-oriented community project like ours could
not be as successful without amazingly great people who
“step up” and donate their time and talents. We are very
grateful to all the many, many wonderful volunteers who
Made a Difference for our Troops. How do we begin to
thank you all?? Allow us to brag about a few of our many
volunteers.
We would like to thank the hundreds of students who par-
ticipated this year. They collected goodies, wrote cards,
made Snowman Soup, learned how to sew stockings and
came over to assist. Thank you, all, for taking the time to
stop by and join with us to send some hugs to our troops.
(Pictured here are the great students from the Sewing Club of Clearview Regional Senior High School in
Mullica Hill, New Jersey.)
The thoughtful and clever Neumann University’s Men’s Hockey Team created these special stockings
for our troops. Stocking #26 ended up with this
soldier in Afghanistan.
We have a new “How To Sew A Stocking” video

We are so excited to announce that a wonderful
volunteer from Idaho, Deb P. gave us such a great
gift when she created this fabulous video for us.
She created a “How-To Sew A Stocking” for our
project. We are so grateful for her kindness. It is
a fabulous gift for us to be able to use from now on to help others to sew stockings for our project.
Thank You so much, Deb.

great folks at DDVD for assisting them to reproduce the 1,200 DVD’s for our troops to share.
Thank You to Trump Taj Mahal Casino and to the Morgan Family.
One of the many items included in our stockings is a pack of playing cards. This has been
possible because of the generosity of the Trump Taj Mahal Hotel and Casino in Atlantic

4. Thank You to Our Great Friends at Castle Bag Company
Our great thanks go to Mr. Harry Russell and Ms. Chris Ditzler at Castle Bag Company for
supplying us with over 10,000 sturdy ziplock plastic bags. These plastic bags are so impor-
tant to our project for several reasons. First, they are used to hold and transport our filled
stockings and all the items next to the stockings. (see photo later) Second, they are used as an
air-tight, water-proof, bug-proof and sand-proof container for food or special items that need
to be kept dry, safe and clean. THANK YOU to such great friends as at Castle Bag for their
wonderful generosity.
A Wonderful Thank You to our Special Friends at Polartec LLC.
We are so very grateful to our most generous friends
from Polartec LLC in Lawrence, MA who have do-
nated many, many rolls of their beautiful polar fleece.
We then cut them into “small” blankets and our troops
get an extra bit of warmth. On Left: is a happy re-
cipient of a box of our special blankets. On Right:
is a happy volunteer cutting up a roll of the polar
fleece for our blankets.
Thank You to the Chesapeake Bay Girl Scout Council.
We have been so lucky to have the fabulous participation of hundreds of
members of the Girl Scout community. From the younger Brownies to
the older Cadets, the Scouts and their leaders have made tons of Snow-
man Soup, sewn and decorated stockings, collected items, helped us to
stuff the stockings and have written cards and letters to our troops. We
appreciate their participation and couldn’t have started the Project with-
out their great assistance. We also enjoy all the assistance from mem-
bers of the Boy Scout community. (Dr. Jill Biden & our Girl Scouts.)

6. Thank You to our wonderful webmaster, Jon Stewart, for his great work on our web-
site. We love you, Jon and appreciate all your time and talents.
Thank You to all our Sewing Elves around the Country.
For the past eight years, we have been so blessed to receive over 37,000 home
made stockings. We personalized them with the first names of our troops, filled
them with Goodies and then sent them on their way to Afghanistan and Iraq. We could never have accom-
plished so much without receiving these beautiful and wonderful gifts from our Sewing Volunteers. Thank
You all for your beautiful stockings. Just a little reminder: Please be sure to make them 15” high by 9”
wide, so they all will be uniform in size and easily fit inside a ziplock bag.
Here are a few special Letters of Gratitude from our Troops.
(For more letters, please go to Thank You from our Troops on our
website.)
Dear Judy and all the other Helper Elves :)
Thank you so much for my stocking and bag of goodies you have put together for me
and other Service Members while we are over here for the holidays. It means so
much to us over here and brings us a little bit of home to us along with some good
colors lol. Bare plywood walls are nice and rustic but having a stocking with my name
on it hung on the wall really brings out the true holiday beauty in it. lol. But I wanted to
tell you thank you very much and tell you how much this all means to us your support
is greatly, greatly appreciated thanks again and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!

Dear Judy and Jennifer-
I wanted to let you know that your Christmas "Care Package" arrived safely in Afghanistan and is very much appreci-
ated. We are part of the 7th Sustainment Brigade out of Ft. Eustis, VA. We are currently located at Kandahar Air Field
in southern Afghanistan. Specifically - we work in the Medical Operations section of the brigade. You were very kind
to go to the effort to remember us in such a generous way. Thank You VERY much. We were very orderly in pass-
ing out all the goodies. Then the trading commenced! Everyone left quite pleased. We have hung up all of the
stockings in our office. It really brightened the place up and helped get us in the Christmas spirit.
Here is wishing You and Yours a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy 2012.

**********************************************************
Season's Greetings from Afghanistan. Wanted you all to know
that we have received all of your stockings and have distributed
them out. Attached are some pictures of a few very happy Sol-
diers from Headquarters Platoon opening their boxes. It was
even made all the better by sending the Company Commander
a Romance Novel in his stocking. That has been a good source
of jokes for the last couple of days. Rest assured that no matter
where it "disappears" to we make sure it finds its way back onto
his desk! We really appreciate the gifts, especially the Reese's
Peanut Butter cups as they are a rarity out here, they were all
gone the first day. I am working on getting pic's from the other
platoons so expect more in the future. Thank you and I wish
you a Merry Christmas.

7. Distributing our stockings is a HUGE job.
Did you all ever wonder who had the gi-norm-us job of
sorting out all the personalized stockings?? We re-
ceived the greatest photo of the brave young man trying
to make heads or tails out of our boxes of stockings. He
should get a special award for tackling this job. For
some units, we have sent as many as 40 boxes filled
with 360 individually named stockings. Yikes. Some-
one has to organize them, and this young man is doing a
great job.
This is a typical smiling soldier
when receiving one of our
special Stockings.
All these GOODIES fit inside one
of our Stockings. Each Stocking is
mailed in one of the special ziplock
plastic bags that have been donated
by The Castle Bag Company.
Why are Nick and Lyn and Paul, all Fabulous members of our
Stockings For Soldiers Team Leader FAMILY, laughing???
Hmmmmmmmm….

8. How you can help:
Here are some of the ways you can contribute to the success of next year’s Stockings For Soldiers Project:
Start sewing stockings now . . many of our volunteers have started sewing and stockpiling stockings
now. The stocking pattern is available at our website: www.StockingsForSoldiers.org . Be sure and use
colorful cotton fabric & plain white, red or green felt for the cuff. Our Goal is one more than last year.
Start knitting wool caps. These are valued by our soldiers in the frigid mountainous regions of Afghani-
stan. The Knitting Instructions are available at our website.
Purchase and donate fabric for stockings. Even if you do not sew, you can donate fabric to those who
do sew but don’t have the funds to buy extra material. You can also cut out the stockings with our patterns.
Collect gently used music CD’s, paperback books (no romance novels, please) and gently used DVD
movies (no VHS video tapes please).
Ask your dentist to contribute toothbrushes, toothpaste and floss. You can expedite this by volunteering
to bring the donated items to the Stocking Store anytime after October 15th, 2012.
Please make packets of “Snowman Soup” for our troops. (Hot cocoa in a ziplock bag.) See our link for
the “Recipe.” This is a great project for young volunteers to do with their families.
Arrange for your school, church, synagogue, scout troop, service club and workplace to sponsor a con-
test to see who can collect the MOST crew socks or lip balm or Ramen Soup, etc.
Arrange for your school, church, synagogue, scout troop, service club and workplace to sponsor a col-
lection drive for items that we put into the stockings. All the details about the project and a list of supplies
is available by clicking on “Project Flyer” at our website.
Arrange for your school, church, synagogue, scout troop, service club and workplace to write greeting
cards and letters of support to our troops.
Finally, please join us (and ask your friends to join us) by coming to the Stocking Store (location to be
confirmed in September) any evening during working hours to help us to make the Holidays brighter for
our deployed troops.
We will be working in the Stocking Store starting October 15th on Mondays through Thursdays, from
6:30 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. Stop by once, stop by twice or as often as you want . . . and stay as long as you
want, but be forewarned: the joy and satisfaction you’ll receive from being a Stockings for Soldiers “Elf”
is addictive . . . you’ll keep coming back for more!
Please HOLD on delivery of any donations until we open on October 15th, 2012.
