A Note From Operation: Care and Comfort
Dear Friends and Supporters,
The year is half over! July 4th we celebrate Independence Day with parades,
fireworks, BBQs and more. Let’s remember the troops s$ll deployed around the globe
along with their families who will observe the holiday without them. Of course, we
must never forget our Gold Star families and their heroes who lost their lives while
serving our country.
June was a blur. D-Day, Flag Day, Father’s Day, Girl Scout cookies and a lot of baseball
$ckets made it a special month. Our volunteers worked so hard to make Father’s Day
bags, pack and mailed fabulous care packages for forward deployed troops, and we
supported a long$me volunteer who is recovering from major medical issues. How I
love our OCC team!
We are grateful to the individuals, organiza$ons and companies who help support our
military care package program with care package items and postage funds. A big
“hooah!” to the sports teams and their season $cket holders who donate $ckets to us
so we can send troops, vets and their families to spor$ng and entertainment events
FREE! THANK YOU!
We announced that on Saturday August 21st, the San Jose Giants will be hos$ng a
charity poker tournament benefi$ng OCC at Excite Ballpark, and now the links to
register are live!
Poker, Turkey Mikes’s BBQ lunch, silent auc$on, raffle plus a fantas$c gi> bag for the
first 100 players and 50 guests. There are also sponsorship opportuni$es. A huge
thank you to Frank-Lin Dis�llers Products, our first Grand Slam level sponsor!
Happy Independence Day weekend. Have a fantas$c month!
