Friends of Blue Star Mothers


	It was a very successful day for the Blue Star Mother's booth at the Fire Department Barbecue. In spite of the noon rain right at $150.00 was donated for postage for the next shipments, many people wrote notes to tuck inside, and a lot of folks took bags to fill for the holiday packages to our troops and return to the post office. Thank you, people of Palomar!
