Operation Outreach a success

This past weekend, we joined a group down in Harrison OH for a 5K Walk/Run. The Air Force and Army were represented (yay heroes) and we had about 150 people show. It was a good time for a great cause. Proceeds went to buy kevlar blankets for the deployed Heroes.

We're thrilled to have gotten word out about Soldiers' Angels, and had some fun in the process.

Congratulations to everyone...

Fisher House Fundraiser

From one of my local ladies who is a tremendous supporter of our troops~

There is going to be a fundraiser for the Wright Patterson Fisher House on April 28th. Information can be found at www.fnhi.org. If anyone is looking for something to do!!

I was thinking for the first project to be.....BOREDOM BUSTERS

Karen, the house manager, was telling me how bored they get. I took up some puzzles that a fellow angel donated and the her eyes lit up and she said, "They are going to enjoy this!"

The only condition of boredom busters are magazines can not be used. The residents being cancer victims are very prone to picking up diseases due to chemo and she requested no books to read. She has an oversupply of books and no storage space.

Ideas::: Sudoku puzzle books
crosswords
search a word
new magazines
simple craft kits
puzzles
DVDs
Computer games
Stationary kits and pens

I am sure that y'all have some great ideas please share them with us. Please email me if you are interested in helping. Thanks for being Wright Patterson Angels

Spring Fling For Fisher Houses

We are currently having a Spring Fling for the Fisher Houses. A Fisher House serves as a “home away from home” for the families of military personnel and veterans seeking medical care at major military and VA medical centers. They are designed to accommodate 16 to 42 family members at any time and feature common kitchens, large communal dining rooms and living areas stocked with books and toys for the children. Families can stay free of charge.

The average stay in hospital for a combat-wounded serviceman or woman is 45-60 days, and in many cases can go well into a year or more. Providing the means for families to be with their loved ones is critical in their recovery process. All of the houses are built by the Fisher House Foundation, and Soldiers' Angels works with the House staff to meet their ongoing needs. As the number of combat casualties continues to climb, these facilities will be called upon to serve more and more families. We at Soldiers' Angels are proud of our support to the Fisher Houses across the country.

If you donate a gift card for $20.00 or more to any Fisher House by May 1st, you will receive a $20.00 gift certificate for the Soldiers' Angels Store.

Cards should be to common stores: Sears, JC Penney, Wal-Mart etc., or prepaid Visa or Mastercards. The cards should be sent directly to the Fisher House of your choice - be sure to note that you are with Soldiers' Angels.

Here is a link to the Fisher Houses to choose one for your donation. http://www.fisherhouse.org/aboutUs/3_FHlocations.pdf

After you have made your donation, please email me for the address. Send me your name, address, email, copy of the receipt for the gift card purchased and to which Fisher House it was sent. Please include your email so that I can send you your gift certificate for the Soldiers' Angels Store.

You may just print out this page, fill out the info and send to me, along with the receipt of purchase.

I just know you all are going to be a wonderful help for the Fisher Houses!!! It takes the support from all of us to help those who support all of us.

*hugs*
