FRIDAY, September 11 - Create Inspirational Notes & Cards for United for the Troops in Honor of 9/11

Please join MPIGNY in writing inspirational notes and cards to deployed service members. These notes will be included in care packages sent by United for the Troops to deployed service members letting them know someone is thinking of them. They're the first thing our servicemen and servicewomen see when they open their packages, and they remind our military how thankful we are. This is a great family-friendly activity. Break out the construction paper and crayons; volunteers of all ages are welcome to participate in this opportunity.

Volunteers are encouraged to create the notes and cards on Friday, Sept. 11 as part of the national 9/11 Day of Service. We will be hosting a short Kick-Off Call on September 11th at 3:00 p.m. to explain the process, and participants are invited to write out the cards at that time. You are welcome to use store-bought cards or create handmade cards.

If you would like to participate, please contact Jennifer Rondinelli by Wednesday, Sept. 9. We are requesting 10 cards from each participant. Marisa Wilkes will collect all the donated cards and drop them off to the Volunteer New York! office on Thursday, Sept. 17. We ask that participants please mail your cards to Marisa by no later than Saturday, Sept. 12 (address provided upon registration). 

Let's show our troops some love! ♥
