Joe Robinson, Chairman

My dear Pythian brothers, sisters, and concerned Americans, we are proud Americans, devoted to our sons, daughters, nieces, and nephews, etc. We may disagree with our governments involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan, but we must always remember, it’s our sons, daughters, nieces, and nephews, etc., that are getting killed, wounded, and permanently scarred. Whatever we can do to show our sons, daughters, nieces, and nephews, etc., that we care, we must do. The servicemen’s committee, a sub committee of the Humanitarian Fund, of the Knights of Pythias, has been doing just that. The committee has been sending packages, approximately 2,000, consisting of many personal items that can not be purchased in the field. There are no px’s in the war zones. You would think that the packages were postage free, but the U.S. Postal Service is presently charging $12.50 per package, up from $9.50 when we started this program. The committee has relied on fund raising, and lodge donations. Due to the exorbitant cost, the continuance of this program is in jeopardy. We ask that our Pythian brothers, sisters, and concerned Americans, consider a donation of $13.00, covering one package. Your name will be included in the package as the concerned American. Please send your check, payable to the Humanitarian Fund (memo- servicemen’s committee), to : Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias 2nd floor, 2347 Jericho turnpike, Garden City Park, N.Y. 11040, attention: Sir Jordan Levy. We must continue to support our troops. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you
