<p>As more than 1,400 NALC branches and scores of rurals-only post offices made last moment preparations, the drive received a great boost from National Hot Rod Association funny car star Ashley Force Hood to complement nationwide exposure already in place by entertainment stars Courteney Cox, David Arquette and Ryan Seacrest, and numerous local promotions by political and celebrity personalities all across the nation. </p>

<p>Thanks for the reminder- but do we need a special bag- I must have thrown it out.</p>
