Weekly Newsletter 4/06/2008
Beautiful weekend! I hope you've had the opportunity to go out and enjoy it!!
--We have now sent out over 50 boxes filled with Girl Scout Cookies, other goodies and lots of love to our service members in Iraq or Afghanistan. Remember to get us addresses of your deployed service members as soon as you get them, so that we may add them to our list! Many thanks to the Tulip Trace Council of Girl Scouts and, in particular, to Scott and Denise Sproles!!
--Our "Tour of Iraq" is in full swing! We will meet again this week at the Thornton Pavilion on Tuesday, April 8th at 6 pm--WEATHER PERMITTING! If you cannot attend the scheduled walk, please walk on your own and email me every Sunday with your week's total mileage, so that I may keep track of our progress! I LOVE to walk, so please let me know if there are other days that would be better for you, and we will schedule more than one walk per week!
--Relay For Life! The following people have signed up to be on the "HHAFFA Hoofers" team: Royce and Nancy Peabody, Joe and Betsy Henley, Wayne and Mary Umphress, Kim Johnson, Melody Gratzer, Amanda Kirby, Kim Price, Tammy Lee, Cindy Gable, Christy Ingram, Jeanne New, Kimberly Sterrett, Trinity Sterrett, Kiersten Wheelock, Lisa Salladee, Bonnie Harper, Bill and Susie Robinson, Andra Jackson, Phil and Susan Inman, Tom and Pat Boscher. If I have left anyone out--please let me know. I have been sending out special emails to any one who has signed up to be a HHAFFA Hoofers team member.
--The Roudebush VA Medical Center has partnered with the Indiana Blue Star Salute to honor our military families, and to thank our Operation Enduring Freedom/Iraqi Freedon (OEF/OIF) veterans for their service to our country. The event will be held on Armed Forces Day (May 17th) and more information may be found by visiting www.hcbluestar.org . I encourage every person who receives this newsletter who has a family member in the Armed Forces, to go to this website, read the information and submit your information!
--Jeremy Brooking (mother, Deborah, lives in Mitchell) is recovering from surgery. He was injured in Iraq, where a bullet was lodged in his chest, and the surgery removed the bullet. I think it would be a great show of support for his recovery if everyone sent him a greeting! His address is:
Jeremy Brooking
1307 Timberlake Trail
Jacksonville, NC 28546
In closing, I would like to again thank all those people who are actively participating in this organization! We can do so much together! With our numbers, we have the opportunity to go out and contribute great things to our community and its military personnel and their families! Through these activities we can raise awareness of the NUMBERS of service members from our area and the number of family members that are affected!
Please continue to keep Amanda Kirby's father-in-law and family in your prayers. The past few weeks have not brought encouraging news, and they have requested that Michael return from Iraq.
Remember to keep ALL our troops and their families in your thoughts and prayers!
God Bless Our Troops!
