Another very active COOPYR8 team initiative is their Patriot Pride Program. This is an ongoing effort that provides support to our military troops serving overseas and provides education to employees on patriotic issues. This energetic team collects donations from employees and has already sent several care packages overseas through the local American Legion. During the holidays they sent over 80 items including clothing, toiletries, books, cards, food, and most importantly – our thanks and our prayers for their safety. Another package is being delivered in early February with a Valentines Day theme that has over 300 cards, gifts, and “candygrams” with messages for the troops.
