Uh, hey. I'm Terra. You might know me from Club Sunshine, or ReVA or...somewhere else. The University? I don't think a ton of people on here are taking American History courses. Anyway, I wanted to remind everyone that it's Memorial Day weekend, and while sales and barbecues are plenty fun, not to forget the sacrifice that many have made in the name of our country, regardless of your political beliefs or ideology. Remember what this really is all about. Sorry if this is too "real" but, you know...It's important. Even in a time like this. In light of this, I managed to get my overlords at ReVA to approve a donation drive led by yours truly this Sunday and Monday. A clothes drive to be more specific, going towards impoverished and/or disabled veterans. We'll take most household goods too, to be honest--the various veteran foundations we're working with can find a use for just about anything. I thought it would be helpful to keep it kind of narrow, though, so anything warm that you don't need is greatly appreciated. More formal, business-type attire is also extremely helpful. We'll also be accepting any cash donations you're willing to make to the cause. If you're not looking to give something for nothing, we will be selling cookies, lemonade, and other snacks for those of you hanging around town this weekend. If you're going to be taking advantage of the sales, why not stop by and give back?  Look for us in front of the ReVA offices. If you're interested in helping out or donating, give me a shout. Thanks for listening. This is my first ReVA operation I'm leading by myself so...It's kind of a big deal to me, to the point where I'm typing with proper grammar and syntax (I think?). If you could help me make this a success, and help out some people who need it, I'd be super grateful!

I'm volunteering in the ceremonies on Sunday so I won't be able to make it to anything else until Monday. I'll spread the word around where I can, though. If you have any fliers to print out, I can put those up around town and at school.

Good to see civilians organizing events and remembering what Memorial Day is really about.
