Operation Schoolhouse

WKRG News has a nice story about Allie Maney.

When 12-year-old Allie Maney started Operation Schoolhouse, a project to collect school supplies for Iraqi children, she had no idea how large the response would be.

Since its start in October, Allie's project has more than doubled her goal of 1,000 pounds of supplies.

"I'm really excited about it. We got 2,200 pounds," the Shalimar resident said. "It's just great that we got this much and I loved doing it."

Ally started the program after hearing stories and seeing photos from her brother, Army 1st Lt. Drew Maney. In one of his weekly conversations with his family, Drew mentioned the Iraqi children he met on his tour with the 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team.
