Help us make Cards for our Troops! Our troops do not always have adequate resources for purchasing and sending greeting cards back home to their loved ones. On May 30th from 10 am to 1 pm, come join us at Be Healthy Chiropractic where you can donate just a few moments of your time to make a greeting card that we will ship over to Afghanistan or Iraq.
Dr. Annette Degliumberto will donate space in her Chiropractic office during open house event at the Meadow Walk Shopping Mall. Stampin’ UP!® Demonstrator, Renee Pagenkopf, will donate all the necessary paper and products as well as provide simple instructions for making birthday, anniversary, holiday or other occasion cards to be used for the Cards for Troops. We will also be making “Thank You” cards to send to a list of local troops who have just been deployed to express our appreciation for their service.
“Now that I have a nephew-in-law in the Air Force, who will be shipped to Afghanistan soon, I’ve become more focused on how I can actively participate in and show support for our troops. As I now have the resources available through my business, Stampin’ UP!®, I thought that this would be the perfect fit. I’m hoping, that in three hours, we can make a good number of cards to ship over to our troops so they have a way to communicate with their families and friends back home”, commented Renee Pagenkopf. “And this is a great way to let them know how much we appreciate their service”.
Other retail shops participating in the open house event are Metamorphosis Skin Care and Creations Bakery. Metamorphosis owner, Julie O’Connor, says that they will have specials on products and services as well as drawings during the open house. Metamorphosis, a clinical skin care provider, offers a wide variety of programs, skin care products, services and techniques with anti-aging as their specialty.
