2. Handmade Letters to Veterans and Troops!
Stop by the North Valleys Library from November 1st - 8th to create a handwritten note of gratitude and encouragement to retired military veterans and active service members! The library will distribute these notes to the Northern Nevada State Veterans Hospital and to deployed troops at the Naval Air Station in Fallon, and the USS Nevada SSBN-733! Share what you love about America, is it the Natural Parks, the Coastlines, the Freedom that we have to live each day how we want? And while you're writing that down, don't forget to share how you appreciate all they've done to help protect us and this country, making all of those wonderful things possible.
