The MMCM is collaborating with the Yellow Ribbon Guard based at the Bay City Armory to send holiday cards and paper snowflakes to Michigan military personnel stationed overseas. All snowflakes and holiday cards will be placed in individual gift boxes to be delivered to the troops in time for Christmas.

Donations are welcomed to help pay for postage.
