Here's local news from the City of Temecula:
With Veterans Day just around the corner, the Ronald H. Roberts Temecula Public Library (30600 Pauba Road) plans to honor the brave men and women of the U.S. Military by collecting messages of support and appreciation with its annual program, Letters to Military Men and Women. Please stop by the Library this November to write or drop off an unsealed letter to be shipped to American Veterans, reserve and active military, by A Million Thanks.
You can drop off or write letters during open hours between NOV 1 through 30, 2023. Feel free to introduce or talk about yourself, or even write down your address or email in each letter. Some military members will write back! Letters must be dropped off in unsealed envelopes and may only include positive messages. Sealed letters, negative messages, care package items, and letters with confetti/glitter will not be accepted. If including a photograph or drawing, make sure it is firmly attached to the letter. This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Temecula Libraries.
A Million Thanks is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting our troops and collects and distributes letters of thanks and support to active, reserve, and veteran military stationed around the world. The organization, founded by Shauna Fleming, has delivered over seven million letters since 2004.
