Weekly Newsletter 4/20/2008
The weather this week is supposed to be BEAUTIFUL! Let's get out and play!!
--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! (And I baked my famous chocolate chip cookies, but don't worry--I'll have DIET Sprite to go with it!!)
--Our "Tour of Iraq" is continuing! We will meet again this week at the Thornton Pavilion on Tuesday, April 22nd at 6 pm! 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! So far, I have had a total of 23 miles reported to me--please remember to let me know your total!! --Relay For Life!! Relay For Life is scheduled for June 20-21, but all donations must be turned in to me by June 8th! Please let me know if you would like to be a "HHAFFA Hoofer", and I will get you all the information you need!
--Sixteen (16) boxes filled with Girl Scout cookies were sent out on Saturday for local National Guard troops deployed to Iraq! Please continue to get us your deployed soldier's address as soon as you get it, so that we may get a box to them!
--We received a "Thank You" from Jeremy Crane, and I wanted to include a portion of it for all of you to enjoy: "I just want to thank you and the rest of the HHAFFA so much for the package and the card. It is really nice to know that there are people like you guys out there who really do care."
--Jeremy also stated that there was a young man in his unit who has 6 children and his family could not afford to send him anything. Jeremy said, "I know you are busy, but if there is any way you could do something for him I know it would make his day." So, let's make a young soldier's day!! Let's send cards, letters and boxes, and let him know that the people of Lawrence County care! Remember our motto--"We Support Our Troops"!!!!

--HHAFFA wants all mothers and grandmothers of those serving in the active duty military and all military wives to have a free corsage for Mother's Day!

Please call Bailey's Flowers (279-5046), the West End Flower Shop (275-6422), or Three Hearts Flowers in Mitchell (849-9595) before Friday, May 2nd to reserve your flower.
--We have a local soldier, stationed at Ft Lewis, WA, who has had a very difficult time this past year and could sure use our support. He will be leaving for Iraq in September. I think it would be wonderful if we could all send a card, letting him know we care!
