I received an email this morning from fellow Cotillion member, Greta:
We have 700 soldiers waiting to be adopted right now. If you haven’t adopted before — the time is now. 1 letter a week and 2 small packages a month is all we ask. Go now and do it. It will be as rewarding for you as the soldier getting a package!
I know, I know … you want to help, but:
- Afraid you’ll forget about it?
Setup a ‘nag’ to remind you. I have both Google Calendar and my Outlook at work to nag me to write every Monday. There are a TON of free reminder services if you would rather not use the aforementioned.
- Don’t know how to get started?
No problem. The Soldiers’ Angels staff are there to guide you and answer any questions you may have! Every member who joins is assigned a mentor or team leader who can help you get started and guide you as needed. You will also have access to the SA forums where you can interact with others in the SA community and benefit from their experience. You are never alone in this!
- What if you need help putting a package together?
No sweat. There’s the Soldiers’ Angels store to either provide you with ready-made packages, or give you ideas on how to build your own.
- Got more questions?
The Soldiers’ Angels website has a FAQ to cover almost any question a new or prospective SA member could ask.
That’s a small price to pay to help those fighting for our freedoms, wouldn’t you agree? These brave men and women aren’t going on luxury cruises, they’re out there defending US!
Also, Soldiers’ Angels have other teams and programs in which you can help out if your schedule is too busy or if you are financially strained. So even if you can’t write a letter or send a package, you could put your other talents to good use!
I’m helping … will you?
Greta
Thank you and Angel Hugs!
