Cookies for the Troops

Lillian Riley, Harbor Hills own "Cookie Lady," is probably baking cookies as you read this. She sends at least 10 boxes of cookies a week to our troops in the Middle East. Mrs. Riley loves to make cookies and the troops love to receive and eat them, so it is a winning situation for everyone. Postage is $8.10 a box. Although Mrs. Riley donates her talents and the ingredients, she could better afford to continue her project at her present pace if her friends at Harbor Hills would like to contribute to the cost of postage. Any amount would be greatly appreciated and donations may be dropped off at the golf pro shop. If you know of a soldier that would like to receive a box of treats from "The Cookie Lady," please email Mrs. Riley at lilril10@aol.com or phone her at 753-1831. Mrs. Riley has received many notes back from grateful recipients and considers each of the soldiers one of her children. The soldiers appreciate Mrs. Riley and her cookies and those of us at Harbor Hills who know her appreciate her generous and caring spirit.
