On behalf of the Family Readiness Group of the Bravo Battery National Guard unit in Avon Park, and the group Touched By Angels, we would like to extend our gratitude to all of those who donated to our fundraiser yard sale which was held at the armory on Sept. 19.

Many people within our community graciously donated items they no longer needed to help our soldiers during the upcoming Christmas holiday. Not only did we receive donations of goods for the yard sale, but also monetary donations as well. There were quite a few people who weren't aware of the situation our local guardsmen are in and were more than happy to donate to such a good cause.

We were overwhelmed with the turnout we had, and we not only met our goal, we exceeded it thanks to you, our community. We are still in need of donations to help us provide Christmas for a local needy soldier and his family as well as the Christmas party we intend to give to all of Bravo Battery and their families. If you are interested or would like to find out other ways in which you could help our local guardsmen, please contact Amy Berrong at 214-6999 or myself at 443-9262. Again, thank you so much for your generosity and may God bless you.
