M*A*S*H Test Run for the National Guard

A few days ago, SirEkim (The Meals on Wheels Director) proposed an idea to Congress now known as M*A*S*H. Basically what M*A*S*H will do is donate gifts to those who are in the National Guard and are just below 40 wellness. This will boost their wellness above 40 and allow them to fight, thus increasing their wellness to 80. After some discussion and modifications, M*A*S*H received permission from Congress to run a one-week trial on it's effectiveness.

Ekim, however, would like to run this program off of the donations from you, the eAmerican people. He asks for you to send a donation to the M*A*S*H organization found at the bottom of this segment. After the one-week trial ends, he will post a list of all who donates in his newspaper. He also asks, due to a lack of storage space, that actual currency be sent instead of items.

Also, if you would like to apply for M*A*S*H help, you must meet the following conditions:

Be in the National Guard
Have Anywhere from 32-40 wellness
Be Between Levels 5-10
Be Referred By A National Guard CO

Please contact your National Guard CO in order to sign up to receive aid. This program was intended to start when the US-Irish war games restarted. However, due to the battle with Russia, this program started up last Wednesday; therefore, it will end next Wednesday, May 20 (Day 547).

If you are interested in donating to M*A*S*H, contact the M*A*S*H Organization.
