There you can donate toward a campaign to send 1,001 phone cards, along with angel note cards, to Hawai'i troops in the Middle East during the holidays. It's sponsored by a group from the UH Institutional Research Office. mhirao@hawaii.edu.
Drop off teddy bears, stuffed animals or soccer balls from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today at Kailua Intermediate School, where an 8th grade class has launched "Operation e malama na keiki o Iraq."
