Weekly Newsletter 8/8/2008
Nancy was a social butterfly this weekend and didn't have time to do a newsletter. Things she will be including in the newsletter:
Red Roses for Red Cross - the Hoosier Hills Chapter has its annual Les Sohlstrom Memorial Rose Sale going on now. Call, 275-5162 (Red Cross) or email Betsy, bhenley@hhredcross.org to order Roses - $20 per dozen delivered (payment due by Aug 31st or Sept 11th when Roses will be delivered. The Hoosier Hills Chapter started HHAFFA and also provides emergency message service 24/7 for all military families.
We were invited to march in the Oolitic Parade on Sept 13th. Put it on your calendars!
The Persimmon Festival is coming up. Unfortunately, neither Nancy or Betsy can be there the whole week. If anyone else wants to take charge of a booth, the position is open. We can help you with the planning. Also, we need a truck in order to enter the parade. If we don't get a volunteer, HHAFFA won't have a booth or parade entry at the Persimmon Festival.
Nancy will be giving us an update on the number of miles walked to Iraq. Walkers meet on Tuesday at 7 pm at Thorton Pavilion.
The American Federation of Government Employees has collected items to be sent to our troops because one of their shop stewards is in the National Guard in Iraq. There will be a packing party at the National Guard Armory whenever the FRG decides to do it.
We have received several thank yous from troops for packages and phone cards.
Don't forget to let us know when military addresses change! I have heard through the grapevine about a couple who have come home and a couple who may be leaving soon. Also, don't forget to let us know when your email address changes!
God Bless Our Troops and their families!
