Friends,

 

Our May 18-20 Wellness Weekend for deployed soldiers' families is coming along nicely. I've talked to the spouses from Fort Hood, and they are very excited about coming to Dallas for the weekend with their children. There husbands' deployment time just got extended 3 months, so they could use the encouragement.

 

We will have classes on Auto Mechanics, Coping with Deployment, and Budgeting, as well as Makeovers for the ladies. Meanwhile their children will be having fun at their own functions. On Saturday night, we have an Appreciation Dinner for the spouses and entertainment with dinner for the children. We have heard from past attendees that these functions directly affect the morale of the soldiers in a positive way.

 

If you have wanted to help out the soldiers and their families but have not known how, this is a great opportunity. We are well on our way to having the weekend paid for (We provide hotel rooms and meals for the families), but we could use your help in reaching our goal.

 

Please go to our website, www.dsffusa.org to donate via Paypal, send a check to DSFF, P.O. Box 864258, Plano, TX 75086, or call me to put your donation on a credit card or check card. DSFF is a 501c3 corporation . I would be forever grateful for your help, and so would the soldiers and their families. Thank you.
