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
