The Connecticut Cookie Platoon is seeking bakers and donations to pay for the shipping of its regular shipments of homemade cookies to United States servicemen and women. In each shipment, every soldier receives five containers of cookies. The platoon's next shipment goes out Saturday, May 11.

Cookies must be no larger than two inches in diameter; any type of cookie is fine. Mail checks to: Cookie Platoon, P.O. Box 635, Chester, CT 06412.

For more information or to donate online, contact Debbie Schaefer at (860) 526-2789 or dwschaefer@comcast.net, or visit www.cookieplatoon.com.
