Show Servicemen's Addresses Wanted by BYU Office Names and addresses of Mormon service men and women who will be away from home at Christmas time are being be-ing sought by the Womens Office at BYU so that packages of goodies and letters can be mailed in time for the holidays. Denise Tucker, chairman chair-man of Project Uplife and a graduate student in audiology from Lyunchburg, Va. said that anyone having a current address of an LDS Church service man or woman should get the name, address and marital status to the Womens Office by Oct 19. The address to sent the information is 432 Wilkinson Center, BYU, Provo, Utah 84602. Last year the Project Uplife, more than 500 boxes of cookies and other goodies were mailed for the holidays. Mo'st packages included includ-ed letters. "This year, the project pro-ject will encourage campus cam-pus clubs, wards and individuals in-dividuals to send dried fruit and nuts in the package with an accompanying accom-panying letter," Miss Tucker said. "Of course, if the sender wants, to bake cookies, that alternative is open." She pointed out that the Oct 19 deadline is necessary so that project pro-ject participants can get the packages ready and in the mail by November 14. Names and addresses submitted to the Womens Office will be distributed so that the packages can be prepared and taken to the office for mailing. "We're emphasizing the dried fruit and nuts because they may be lighter in weight and have more nutritional value than cookies," Miss Tucker said. "We hope to send some happiness hap-piness from the campus to our Church members in the military service, letting them know we appreciate their sacrifices and their efforts ef-forts in pur behalf." |
