As many of you know, Bill Cahir is still a drilling Marine and, like other reservists, Bill is obligated to serve his country one weekend a month and two weeks every year. This just so happens to be one of those weekends.
Now, I know that many of you also remember a certain Commander-in-Chief shirking out on his reserve duties many years ago and maybe doing some political work instead. Well, that isn't going to happen on this campaign. Bill made a commitment and he is going to keep it.
So, since Bill is serving his country, our staff and volunteers decided that we were doing to a service project of our own. Today, we are gathering in State College to put together what we call Cahir Packages that will be sent to our Marines and Soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Yesterday, before Bill left, he went to the grocery store and bought a bunch of items that he knew they would like.
We will have pictures up on our billcahir.com site later this weekend.
For anyone in the State College area today who wants to participate, at 1 PM we will be at 552 Lanceshire Drive.
And for all of those towns around the PA-05, don't worry. Every weekend that Bill goes to drill, we will be organizing other locations to do these service projects too. Enjoy your weekend.
