Weekly Newsletter 06/08/2008
Greetings and Salutations!
HHAFFA had a table at the Visteon picnic on Saturday to say a BIG Thank You to all the Visteon employees who have been such a great support to our organization! We saw quite a few familiar faces, and we met a lot of new friends! We wish all Visteon employees well!
I would like to remind everyone to make sure to keep us updated on your service members current address. Please let us know when your service member is deployed and when they return! We love to send cards, letters and boxes, but it is disappointing to have one returned, because of address change!
Get your calendars out, and mark the following dates--
1) Every Tuesday evening at 7 pm (NOTE NEW TIME!!!) we meet at the Thornton Park Pavilion for our "Tour of Iraq". Please plan to join us, but if you cannot, please walk on your own and email me with your mileage every Sunday. If you have a loved one in Iraq, please email me with their location, I will mark it on the map, and we will make sure we stop by for a visit! I will bring the map every Tuesday, so we may see our progress!
2) Relay For Life is scheduled for June 20 - June 21st at the Parkview Track. All the HHAFFA Hoofers should have received information about the Relay schedule, but for all other HHAFFA members--we welcome you to join us during the following activities: 6 pm--Opening Ceremony (includes flag presentation, National Anthem, guest speaker, survivor lap, relay photos); dusk--Luminaria Ceremony (tribute to those who are fighting cancer and those we have lost); and other activities throughout the night! HHAFFA will have a table (decorated in red/white/blue) where we will sell magnets with the proceeds going to the Relay For Life! Please join us during the Opening Ceremony and all other activities! We plan on spending the night, so bring a lawn chair and be ready for some fun!!
3) The Limestone Girls Club has designated the week of June 23-27 as Support The Troops Week! The week prior to Support The Troops Week, the Girls Club will have a car wash to raise money for postage. Be on the lookout for further information, and get involved!
4) Sunday, June 29th, HHAFFA will once again hold a Candlelight Ceremony on the Courthouse Square in Bedford to honor our troops! We will have a guest speaker, music and we will light candles to honor our loved ones in the military!
5) Monday, June 30th and Tuesday, July 1st, HHAFFA will be participating in "The Home of the Brave", a musical production to honor our troops. Roger Gales (the man in charge!!) needs some help! He needs men or women IN UNIFORM from each of the branches (Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force and Coast Guard) to carry a flag on stage!! Please let me know if there is someone who can help!!
6) Friday, July 4th, HHAFFA will again participate in the Limestone Heritage Festival's Fourth of July Parade! We need EVERYONE to walk with us!! Dress in red/white/blue, carry signs, make some noise!!! If you cannot walk, we will have a truck, where you can ride!!!! Imagine if we had everyone who receives this newsletter (about 200), along with their family and friends participate!!!!!!!!! What a sight to see!!!
Please continue to keep all our military personnel in your thoughts and prayers!
God Bless Our Troops and their families back home!
And THANK YOU to everyone who, in any way, supports our young men and women serving this great nation of ours!!
See you soon!!
