Newsletter 04/05/2009
Greetings!
Many thanks go out to the 11 folks who helped pack about 50 boxes full of Girl Scout cookies! I'm sure our young men and women will enjoy their GS cookies! I hope they can get their hands on a nice, big glass of milk!!!
The "Tour of Iraq" scheduled for Tuesday, April 7th is still on--but watch the weather report!! If it is raining, snowing, freezing rain or just freezing--I'm staying home!!!! If the weather holds out--we will meet at the Thornton Pavilion at 6 pm and walk and talk and enjoy each others' company!
It's a great opportunity to share, show we care and get ready for . . . Relay for Life!!!!! Please contact our Team Captain, Kim Johnson at kimberly1055@sbcglobal.net ASAP, if you would like to be a HHAFFA Hoofer! Last year we had a GREAT time and raised over $2000 for the American Cancer Society.
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 all soon!
God Bless Our Troops and their families back home!!
