Weekly Newsletter 11/02/2008
And ANOTHER beautiful Fall weekend!!!! Enjoy these beautiful days, because the cold IS coming!! And so are our many activities:
--Our first MOMS (Mothers of Military Servicemembers) and Spouses' Meeting of the "new year" will be this Tuesday, November 4th at 6:30 pm in the HHAFFA office. Refreshments will be provided! We will be discussing our plans for the Christmas packing party and the Christmas Card Shower, as well as sharing news, pictures and concerns.
--We have scheduled our first HHAFFA Monthly Dinner for November 7th at 6 pm at the Cloverleaf Restaurant in Bedford. We enjoy getting together over dinner and enjoy each others' company! Please let me know (RSVP) if you will be attending!
--We will get together on Tuesday, November 18th at 6 pm in the HHAFFA office to organize donations for the packing party and finalize plans. We will prepack items in Ziploc bags and decide if we need to purchase additional items. How about we order pizza to be delivered that evening?
--THE BIG DAY!!! The "Christmas Boxes for Troops" will be packed on November 22nd at 9 am at the K of C Hall (2202 M St, Bedford). We plan on packing three boxes for each deployed servicemember--snacks and food, toiletries, books and magazines! We will need help with setting up the Hall, transporting items to the Hall from the HHAFFA office, and cleaning up after the packing party. We will also need help packing the boxes! Please plan to attend and help out where you can!
--On Tuesday, November 25th, we will meet in the HHAFFA office at 6 pm to pack our "Christmas Cards for Troops". We hope to receive enough cards to pack a Flat Rate Priority Mail BOX for every service member serving in Iraq or Afghanistan, as well as sending a card to every active duty service member serving throughout the world!
--On Tuesday, December 2nd, we will meet in the HHAFFA office at 6 pm to get everything ready for our Christmas Tree in the gazebo in Harp Commons. We need to make icicles for every active duty service member and stars for every service member serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
--********NEW DATE!!!! On Saturday, December 6th at 11 am, we will meet in the gazebo in Harp Commons on the Bedford Square to decorate our Christmas tree. It won't take long, you'll have plenty of time to go home and get ready for the . . .
--Bedford Christmas Parade!!! On Saturday, December 6th, we will be participating in the Bedford Christmas Parade. Everyone needs to plan on participating--so we can ALL show our support for our troops! We want hundreds of signs and hundreds of people walking together!
Reminders--
Christmas boxes--Get your friends, families, groups and organizations together to gather donations and/or cash for the Christmas boxes AND Christmas cards
--Get your friends, families, groups and organizations together to gather Christmas cards If you work in a business where you are able to set out Christmas cards for the public to sign--it's a great way to get the public involved! As always, please proofread all cards!! Veterans' Day is fast approaching.
Please email with all Veterans Programs occurring throughout the area, so that I may include each in next week's newsletter!
God Bless Our Troops and their families back home!See you all very soon!
