Deck for a Soldier® Call-To-Action
NADRA
Hello NADRA New Jersey Chapter builder, supplier and manufacturer members,
With the thoughts of this past Memorial Day still fresh in our minds, and what it stands for, the NJ D4S Committee would like to call our chapter to action for the 2013 Deck For a Soldier® project slated for early this fall, with a ribbon cutting scheduled for Veterans Day Nov. 11. We are asking for volunteers of skilled workers from our builder members, and just as importantly, donations of materials from our supplier and manufacturer members.
