November is a time for remembering our war heroes who have served their country. The Blue Star Mother’s do a fantastic job of supporting our troops. Here is a brief synopsis of the Blue Star Mother’s Organization. It is a support through service organization. There are members from all over the United States. Moms joining together to share their pride, their devotion and their worries for our sons and daughters currently serving in all branches of the Armed Forces of the United States, and our sons and daughters who are now veterans.
These families volunteer their time and efforts to send care boxes to our troops, support families while loved ones are away, and provide fleece blankets for our veterans just to name a few of the loving ways this organization supports our troops. I can imagine the love that a veteran feels when a member visits with a fleece blanket or the troops overseas who open a care box filled with items from home.
This will be our second annual fundraiser. Last year we had so much fun sampling our great BBQ Ribs and who can resist the flatbread with garlic, melted cheese and assortment of fresh vegetables along with other favorite goodies to enjoy. The children enjoyed telling Santa what they wanted for Christmas and the troops enjoyed getting their drawings that were included in the care boxes.
This year I hope to get a caricature drawing and fun photo with my family along with meeting you and your family when you stop by for a visit. We are looking forward to welcoming you to our Open House Fundraiser filled with lots of laughs, fun and food at the Spicer Castle Inn, Monday, November 14, 2011 from 5:00 to 8:00 pm.
