NWPHC sends sports gear to Afghanistan

Some photos from one of our club members stationed in Afghanistan are available in our Photo Gallery.

A letter from Niki: Here are some pictures of us getting the baseball gear from the Nautical Whalers Parrot Head Club. SGT Scott Doucette, who requested the gear, is the one opening the boxes and trying on the gear. There is a pic of one of our LTs trying on a glove and seeing when the first pick up game will be. The news of the gear has spread and people who brought gloves from home are happy to have gloves and balls to get a game together. Erik was a sport in attempting to blow up the football with the hand pump, a task that would appear to be easy but it absolutely wasn't. Everyone here really appreciates everything that has been sent out especially the gear!! Thanks to everyone who donated and sent us stuff, we really appreciate it, From the Parrot Heads of the 368th Engineers

For Our Troops in Iraq

The Nautical Whalers PHC is getting together to put care packages together for the troops. Two of our members Len & Peg already sent one out to one of the names on the list (we have 140 men & woman ) that are scattered over Iraq and are in need of things from home.

From SFC Jeremy Wonderlie: I am in Iraq with the 747th Military Police Company in Ware, MA. I received a care package from Peg and Len Francis. They said they are members of the NWPHC. Also I wanted to say thank you to Peg and Len for sending me the care package.
