Fundraiser for Irene Victims.

Help Irene victims

It seems like every time there is a natural disaster in this country the media and govt focus on it for a few days then it is on to the next big thing and the victims are left to their own devices.  I have a real problem with that.  It is not in the first few days that the victims need our help it is in the months after when the cameras have left that people need to be remembered.

I applaud The Orange Owl for doing this fundraiser.  We need to let vicitms of this disaster know they are not forgotten and that fellow Americans have their backs.

One of my best friends Anna is among over 20 artists who are donating their crafts to this wonderful fundraiser.  There will be a list up later to day at the Blog with all of the artists.

Help out and get your raffle ticket for 10.00 I know I will be getting mine.

Help the Troops

I learned something today. Did you know that overseas military PX will take expired coupons? They will take them for 6 months after the expiration date. My friend at Penny Pinching Mom put up that post today.

I signed up for a family today through Coupons Through Troops . Another organization is Couponing Over Seas. With this group you send your coupons to a base not a family and they are distributed to everyone who wants them. I personally wanted to connect with a particular family which is why I chose the first one.

Even if you don't clip coupons this is a wonderful idea. Just bundle up the coupons in the paper - set them aside and once a month mail them off to a family helping our country. If you do coupon, send the expired ones as well as the ones you don't need. Don't let free money go to waste.

Faith Trust and Pixie Dust is what it is all about my friend. Help our service families.
