Which thing are you doing? I'm hopefully going to be helping start a lending library at Balboa for Cause-usa.org . I should know by the end of the month if they will be starting one here!

Oh cool, Im helping on a welcome back thing next sat for the veterans returning we will be at the VA in LJ.
This is the first event im helping them with, kinda looking forward to it.

no, but DH mentioned it in an email..something about being a penpal. That sounds cool, though!

I haven't but would love to help. Can you PM me some contact info ? Thanks:)

I have for like the last 7-8 months! I just got my second soldier! :)

I also got an email from Susan with a list of events coming up in the area, we should get together and do one!

I have here in TX.. They are a great organization! I havent been able to go to any events that are in Dallas but I hope to help out more once DH is deployed..

I haven't volunteered for this... I have with USO though on numerous occassions. Hope all goes well 4 you.

I've been a member of the SA letter team for the past year and I've been sending cards and letters overseas for the past 3 yrs now. That's how I met my guy ;). I still have friends from over 2 yrs ago, one of them is in the Army and he's gonna be headed over to Afghanistan this fall, so I'm gonna try to send him letters and care packages as often as I can.

Aww thats so cool.

I'm a member. ^.^ It's wonderful. It makes me feel that I can really do something.

I'm involved with the SA. We send letters and care packages to troops oveseas and try to help out families as best we can, too. It's a lot of fun, and believe it or not does not take all that much time, or even cash (I'm a grad student, and things can be tight) but I have to say that it's the most worthwhile thing I have EVER done. =-)

:yes DB had a penpal in Afghanistan through that organization.

I was thinking of donating money.

OoOOoOO they have a baking organization :)

Been with SA 3 1/2 years. Am on my 25th adoptee and have supported many more through LWT, Wounded TLC and Living Legends Team. When I lived in Los Angeles, helped out at a few functions and when I lived in San Antonio, I mainly focused on our wounded as I was a nurse there at BAMC. Great organization!
