We  have requests   for Rite in rain products   and  can get   these at a discounted price  at this time.
Please  see below :

A  bunch of the troops  in Afghanistan  have requested  "Rite in the Rain" products. The products requests  are folders  with inserts and  small pocket note books.  I have contacted  the company which told me they have no budget for donations at this time, however are willing to give us a 50% discount. These are not real expensive  items. However  they are expensive  when described  what they are. The feature  that is unique and reason for requests, is that   the paper is treated and  ink will not run  when wet ( rain, or perspiration ).
 The  cost on the items   run from $6.95   to $21.95.  The $6.95 pocket note books are  the most requested ... meaning  $3.50 each  with discount.   We have requests for more than 400  of these at this time. The binder / folder with  insert is $21.95  and we have requests   for 136  at this time.  These are both items  Rite in Rain have been able to donate in the past.   They have supported  USTSF  & our Troops well in the past and I am hoping you will find it in your heart to help by donating for these. You can donate online at www.ustroopsupport  by paypal   or  you can send a  check to USTSF   PO BOX  782   Blue Springs, MO 64013
