1 Illini Veterans’ Newsletter 2 December 2014 Issue No. 10 I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving break. Our weekly counseling outings will be at Guido’s on Thursday nights until we start winter break. Come unwind between end of semester studying sessions. Our annual Care Package Drive is finishing up in the coming weeks. Please donate anything that our troops would like overseas to the donation box in the Student Veteran Lounge. All money raised will be used for the care packages. If you know of a specific deployed unit that you would like some of our packages sent to, please email me. A big thank you goes out to Illini High Twelve No. 768 for their generous donation to our Care Package Drive to honor the service of UIUC alumni Lieutenant Nick Sullivan. Their letter to us is on page 4. If you’d like to read the News-Gazette article that is referenced, here is the link: http://www.news- gazette.com/news/local/2014-10-23/making-his-comeback.html.
