Cell Phones for Soldiers was created to assist US Soldiers who are stationed overseas to call home. Old cell phones are turned into prepaid calling cards. One cell phone provides one hour of talk time. Since the program was created it has raised approximately $2.5 million dollars in donations, which has allowed the program to purchase over 500,000 cards. State President Bill Reilly has pledged our support to this most worthwhile endeavor. Members and Lodges wishing to donate their old cell phones may do so by bringing them to the Regional Meeting
