Thanksgiving

It is that time of year where we are starting our preparation for our 18 ^th annual Thanksgiving Dinner that we provided to our Veteran’s, EMS Personnel and Sailors. Look for a separate broadcast with our Thanksgiving request. We will be asking for Volunteers, donations (Turkeys, pies and etc..). Last year we provided 1,100 meals - lets continue what we do best.

Thanksgiving Fundraiser

We need volunteers for Sept 29 fundraiser at the Groton Wal-Mart. Please contact Base Commander or Stan Mathis

Without volunteers, the fundraiser simply cannot happen. Please consider donating a little of your time to help feed over 1,000 active-duty submariners a Thanksgiving meal they'll never forget!

Chaplain's List

Call, send a note, or a visit - A phone call or a visit from a shipmate means a lot, even if you don't know the person. If anyone knows of a shipmate that should be added, I don’t. Please let me know.

A reminder, there are many who have recently had or are having scheduled surgery. In most cases they have asked that I don’t put their names on this list. Your thoughts and prayers are requested for each of them.

Also, I do send an Eternal Patrol certificate and a letter of condolence to the spouse or child of a Groton Base member whenever I hear of their passing. National does a fine job of letting me know, however, some fall through the cracks. Let me know if you hear of one’s passing.

Jim Drodz is in a nursing home in IL. He has a stomach issue. Pray for his early recovery.

Binnacle List

Please say a prayer for all who may also be under the weather including spouses and relatives. Special note: This should include those who are suffering from some debilitating illness, and may be in a nursing home, etc. There are many who come to mind that had previously been on this list.

God bless. Jack
