On behalf of MMRA, Metal Muscle is pleased to announce that it has again arraigned a Kettering Kickoff collection drive for our troops overseas. A collection bin, similar in size to last year, will be available in the southeast corner of the rec center during the event. All participating teams are invited to contribute by bringing items to the Kettering Kickoff.  This year, all collections will be sent overseas through Selfridge Army Community Service and the Blue Star Mothers.  Metal Muscle will attend to the logistics of the bin.  Monetary donations will also be accepted to assist in the shipping costs and to purchase phone cards.  Please pack liquid donations in a zip lock bag to prevent spilling accidents.  The following is a list of requested items, feel free to contribute any item you believe would make the life of a soldier more pleasant.
