Supporting the Troops

Employees at Paychex kicked off a "Support Our Troops" drive and collected boxes of items for servicemen and women. The project was launched at Paychex with a kick off breakfast, posters were displayed listing the items most requested by the men and women who are deployed. Once the collection was complete, Paychex's Employee Action Council contacted Susan Cooke, president of the Hamlin Ladies Auxiliary and asked the assistance of her group in packing and shipping the items. Cooke is seeking locals with family or loved ones who are serving to contact her and give her an address where she can mail one of the boxes of "goodies." Pictured are Susan Cooke and Don Deiure, of Paychex, with some of the items that will be packed and shipped. Contact Cooke at 964-2461 or 734-4356 with names and addresses of local soldiers.
