KATHY PIERCE
Concluded from p. 1
2001. Pierce says that the bears are a source of comfort
for youngsters when they become scared or worried
about a parent leaving home. The bears are "huggable"
-- something the child can cling too, hug and even sleep
with at night.
Since 2001, more than 11,000 bears have been distrib-
uted. Parents have commented on how the bears have
helped their children. One woman, named Tammi,
wrote, "If those bears could only talk about how much
they have been talked to by my little bo3 they would
have a great deal to tell his daddy. It was wonderful for
our son to talk to the bear at night just like he was talk-
ing to his dad at bedtime." And Jennifer wrote, "The
bears the kids received are not in very good shape after
this long deployment. They had them in their hands
most of the time at home carrying them around wher-
ever they went."
Another source of fundraising is through Certificates
of Appreciation. Money donated for bears or medallions
can honor an individual. The Auxiliary will provide a
colorful certificate with the American Flag featured in
the background. In part, it reads "In recognition, a "Hug-
gable Teddy Bear" will be donated to the children of
deployed Iowa National Guard members in your name."
Pierce and her committee members are willing to give
programs to any dub or organization that wishes more
information on the fundraising projects. You may con-
tact her at 515-285-0894 or by going to
kathy_pierce@q.com.
Checks should be made payable to INGOAux and
mailed to Polk County Bank, PO Box 79, Polk City, IA
50226 Attention: INGOAux Donation Account. Pierce
will accept checks when orders are placed through her.

LETTERS
QUR QLICY
We publish letters to the editor when they are not
libelous and when they are signed by the person or
persons submitting them. Opinions expressed are
not necessarily the opinions of the N/Warren
Town and County News staff. Letters are printed
as received. We do not correct spelling and
grammatical errors.
Thank you to everyone who attended to Grand March
and After Prom. It seems as though everyone had a great
time! There is nothing like witnessing a room full of
laughter and seeing kids being kids.
When I was leaving at the end of the night, the people
at Tokens told me that this was a great bunch of kids. I
told them, "You aren't telling me anything I don't al-
ready know." Norwalk kids at the best!
Special thanks to Jill Anderson and Lisa Smith for
taking the lead on the I st ever Grand March. I hope this
was the start of a long time Norwalk tradition.
Best of luck to all of you. Thanks for always warming
my heart.
