Weekly Newsletter 4/13/2008

Greetings!

--Our "Tour of Iraq" is continuing! We will meet again this week at the Thornton Pavilion on Tuesday, April 15th 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! Remember-- email me with your week's total mileage every Sunday!

--Relay For Life!! I will be sending another email this week to those who have signed up to be a "HHAFFA Hoofer"! Please let me know if you would like to join the team, and I will get you information! Remember that the Relay For Life is scheduled for June 20-21, but all donations must be turned in to me by June 8th!

--The next MOMS (Mothers of Military Servicemembers)/Spouses meeting will be held on Monday, April 21st at 6 pm at the HHAFFA office (620 H St). This is a wonderful opportunity to get together with other moms and spouses and share stories, get information, and have a wonderful time with others who share your thoughts and feelings!

--We have now sent out over 50 boxes of Girl Scout cookies to our deployed service members in Iraq and afghanistan. (Thank you, Scott and Denise Sproles!) This Saturday, April 19th at 2:30 pm, Jennifer Posson will be having her National Guard FRG (Family Readiness Group) meeting at the HHAFFA office (620 H St), where they plan to pack boxes of GS cookies. Please contact Jennifer, if you have any questions: jposson@insightbb.com

--I received a "thank you" from Jordan Zollman last week, and I just wanted to pass on what he had to say: "Thank you for all the support. The HHAFFA is really great. It means a lot to me when I receive a package."

--I hope everyone had the opportunity to read the Guest Column by Mark McKnight in Thursday's Bedford paper. He is in Iraq, and he wrote about his remembrances of growing up in Bedford. If you missed it, it is posted on the HHAFFA blog: www.hhaffa.blogspot.com

--Amanda Kirby's father-in-law passed away last week and was buried on Friday. Amanda's husband, Michael Kirby, made it home from Iraq in time for the funeral. Please continue to keep their family in your prayers.

Remember to keep ALL our troops, and their families, in your thoughts and prayers!
God Bless Our Troops!
