Organizers for Operation Make A Soldier Smile (MASS) are in full swing planning what some predict could turn into the largest shipment of holiday care packages to troops overseas sent by United States citizens. Organizers are asking citizens from Steilacoom, DuPont, Lakewood, Anderson Island and neighboring communities to get involved and show your support for our troops around the holidays. MASS is asking for monetary donations and items to be part of the care packages which will be sent to our deployed Fort Lewis Soldiers.

Monetary donations to Operation Make a Soldier Smile (MASS) can be made at any Venture Bank location. MASS is not a 501c3, but if you need the tax deduction, feel free to issue your gift through the Association of the United States Army-Fort Lewis Chapter. Send your contribution to AUSA Fort Lewis, c/o the Fort Lewis Ranger Newspaper, 8312 Custer Rd, Lakewood, WA 98499. Those funds will funnel directly to MASS and AUSA which is a 501C3. MASS needs to receive donations no later than October 15. Holiday care packages must be prepared and mailed no later than November 20. Organizers expect to hold a packaging party on November 18 at the DuPont Civic Center starting at 6:30pm. More information is posted on the City of DuPont’s website at www.ci.dupont.wa.us.

- DuPont Dynamite Train UpdatePosted on: 2009-04-26In an email sent out by DuPont Historical Society President, Lee McDonald, we have learned that DuPont's Dynamite Train is now at home under its new canopy and the engine is running once again. Here is the message:
Below this email is a clip provided by Fred Foreman of the moving of the Dynamite Train.
I want to give you all an update on DuPont's Dynamite Train. Thanks to the tireless efforts of volunteer Keith Beaton and Fred Foreman the engine is up and running and tucked away under the new canopy. Keith, who works on stryker vehicles, spent weeks cleaning,repairing and getting the train running.
The first phase of the canopy building project is completed. The second phase, slated to begin sometime in July, will include the installation of sidewalks (allowing for handicapped accessibility) lighting and interpretive signage. Public Works Director, Peter Zahn has done a tremendous job in taking this canopy from a design on paper to an actual building.
The gentleman on the clip with the hat is Russell with the State Dept of Archeology who has been actively involved in the train restoration, is starting the process to have the train placed on the List of historic landmarks. Sen. Mike Carrell is working on the train's restoration also and has been on-site between Session meetings. We still have a lot to do to get it back to its original condition. But we are on our way.
I would also like to thank museum manager, Joh Jones, Cara Mitchell and others who refused to let this dream die. When the going got tough...you got going!
If anyone would like to help with the train's restoration, please contact Joh at the museum at 253-964-2399
Finally, I would invite those who have not been by the museum, to come view the train and park. During Park Appreciation Day volunteers cleaned, weeded, painted and planted. A group of us even pulled down the ivy that was strangling our beloved Cherry Trees at the entrance of the Village.
Then another email followed this one, with another thank you:
I just sent you an email about the Dynamite Train and a clip when I realized I left one DuPont resident's name off who was also instrumental in helping us obtain funding for the train canopy project. There are others but Councilman John Ehrenreich helped us at the State legislature last year to secure (Heritage) capital funding and lobbying for the canopy. Without his important participation the train project would still be only a dream. Thank you all, our legislators and councilors for your support. We will keep you posted on a date for our ribbon cutting party.

WE RECOGNIZE that a pact including such measures as fair trade, debt relief, fighting corruption and directing additional resources for basic needs – education, health, clean water, food, and care for orphans – would transform the futures and hopes of an entire generation in the poorest countries, at a cost equal to just one percent more of the US budget.
