September 2009
Online registration is
OPEN for the
5th Annual Rhody's Run for the Troops. This is
our one fundraiser of the year and the funds you
so generously donate keep Pack It Up going
throughout the year. We look forward to
seeing old friends and making new ones on
Sunday, October 11th. It's our favorite day of
the year!
5K Overseas
The pictures below show a 5K that was held while
Pack It Up troops were deployed. The money
raised during this 5K was generously donated to
Pack It Up upon their return home. Thank
you to Gene Gallant for sending them along and
relaying a great story. We recognized our
old friend Chad Gurnon in these pictures as
well!

Pete Estes
Many of you will remember Pete Estes, a Pack It
Up contact who was deployed for 24 months and
came home in 2007. Pete was redeployed in
July. We were contacted by Pete's wife,
April, who shared the news with us. April
also told us her brother, SFC Steven Keech, was
also deployed in July. Steven and Pete are two
contacts for Pack It Up. Over Labor
Day weekend, we sent them both packages full of:
fleece blankets, sweatshirts, loads of
toiletries, greeting cards, stationary, writing
pens, journals, basketballs, footballs and
soccer balls, magazines, and lots of Halloween
candy.
