Good Afternoon!

I wanted to pass on some info I've received:

--The University of Indianapolis is offering FREE tuition to military veterans. The U of I Freedom Award is open to those who have served in the military since September 11, 2001. To be eligible, recipients must qualify for some federal programs and be admitted as a full-time undergraduate student.
For more info: www.insideindianabusiness.com/newsitem.asp?id=33887

--Anyone interested in being a part of the "HHAFFA Hoofers" team for RELAY FOR LIFE this year, please contact our Team Captain, Kim Johnson at kimberly1055@sbcglobal.net Last year, we had a GREAT time and raised over $2000 for the American Cancer Society. For more information, and/or to join the team, please contact Kim ASAP!

--Please email me by this Wednesday, if you would like to join us at the Cloverleaf Restaurant for fun and good food (they have great pulled pork) this Friday, March 6 at 6 pm.

From Betsy:
Reminder to military families: The American Red Cross Hoosier Hills Chapter has a 'Hellos from Home' program. Military families can send a personal video to a family member in the military as long as they have his or her email address. The military member does not have to be deployed, but can be stationed here in the States. Please call the Hoosier Hills Chapter (Monday to Friday 8:30 am to 4:30 pm) at 275-5162 (or from Orange and Martin Counties toll free 866-599-9951) to set up a time. Videos can be scheduled evenings and weekends.

During the last packing party, Maria Edwards videotaped our group at work, with a few people saying a few words to our young men in the Armed Forces. Go to www.hhredcross.org click on the "Hellos from Home" link, and then on the Hoosier Hills Armed Forces Families link to view it. Remember that families can send the www.hhredcross.org link to their service member, and the service members can see us, too!!!

Hope to see you soon!
God Bless Our Troops and their families back home!
Nancy Peabody
