Soldiers' Angels sewing teams need your help...


.


      
 
Dear Soldiers; Angels,

We need your help!

Will you please help us get the word out about our Sewing Team projects?

Our troops still need to know that we are here for them!  So many of them are struggling with severe and devastating wounds.  Those deployed will see a return of 120-130 degree heat this summer.  Sandstorms make it difficult to breathe.  Sewing Team items made with kind and loving hands bring the message of love and support to these heroes when they need it the most.

BLANKETS OF HOPE provide comfort to the wounded.  Will you download a copy of our flyer and spread the word about blanket-making?  The flyer may be found at www.soldiersangels.org/uploads/boh/BOH%20Flyer.pdf  Simply download and print it, then distribute it to fabric shops, sewing groups, crafting groups, church groups, scout troops, co-workers, etc.  Thank you! 

All of our projects and guidelines are included in the latest Sewing Team Newsletter.  To view the newsletter, simply go to www.soldiersangels.org/uploads/sew/newsletter/2011-1.pdf  Please note our newest project, PATRIOT PILLOWCASES!  It is a perfect project in which to involve children.

Other important links and contacts are shown below.  We welcome your feedback and would love to hear from you at bohnewsletter@gmail.com. 

Thanks so much to all of you who have taken part in sending love and gratitude to our servicemembers through our projects... they are truly gifts from the heart! 

Love,

Dee Jerge :)
