Heartfelt Thanks 

I want to say "thank you" to everyone who helped A Rose of Thanks grow in 2007.  Here are just a few:

 
First God and my family.
 

Yolanda Rodriguez and her daughter, Allison, for helping design and draw the perfect rose.

 

Domino's Pizza

 

MySpace for the exposure before I got my website up and running, and for continuing to help us get the word out.  www.myspace.com/aroseofthanks.

 

David Stein of  Sporting News Radio.  He is on XM Channel 144 and on Sporting News Radio 2am-6am EST.  A celebration of life through sports

 

Jason Huddle and Kim Cassell of CB&L Magazine.  They did the first story on A Rose of Thanks.

 

Cynthia Roy, my Virtual Assistant, who invited me to the Concord/Kannapolis Tips group. 

 

Nadine Long of Advertising for You Now, who referred me to Mike and Deb Long of TSI Web Design who designed our website.

 

Deblin Design:  Deblin and her staff designed an amazing new awareness ribbon to show our service members thanks and gratitude for their service.  The ribbon is peach in color and has a peach rosette where the ribbons cross.  NOTE:  The Peach Rose Means Thanks and Gratitude!!

 
Dawn Mahler, God's Eyes Photography, for helping me with pictures for our marketing package and fundraising efforts.

 

Charlotte USO

 

Charlotte Observer

 

The Link 107.9 FM in Charlotte, NC, our unofficial official radio station.

 
And finally the biggest "thank you" goes out to everyone who has personalized a card for the men and women who are protecting our country!

 

These are but a handful of the people and organizations that have helped us during our first year.   A Rose of Thanks would not be where it is today with your help and support!

matt     I hope you like our new format! 
 
      Sincerely,
