Dear :
 
 
 I need to send out some Thank You's for some awesome help we have received over the last few months....
 
Jennifer W.  of San Diego, CA a friend via Twitter! @rockstarjen... Volunteered to have an A Rose of Thanks table at the Vans Warped Tour, She did and got over 80 cards and had fun with her husband helping as well!
 
Shelly from LA a friend  via twitter @tattedgrl personalized about 20 cards & added a new twist to A Rose of Thanks that I really like! 
           She personalized the envelopes. 
I love it and it continues to grow,  We will now offer people the opportunity to personalize the envelopes as well!  Thanks Shelly!
 
Christine of Inspired Productions took my call at 6pm 2 days before a Woman's Expo at one of the top 10 tourist attractions in the state of NC that she was putting on and invited A Rose of Thanks to participate!  We got over 400 cards and made some phenomenal contacts with teachers, preachers, and an area director for BlockBuster...Think big with that last one 22 stores dvd's for our troops and maybe the possibility to have A Rose of Thanks cards in each store to have customers sign and personalize a card for our troops as well... 
 
Special thanks to Kenny Wallace, NASCAR Driver for Thinking outside the box for the Canada Race and allowing Fans to Sponsor his car and yes A Rose of Thanks was onboard in Canada!   Thank you  Kenny!
 
Just a few weeks Ago I got an email from Jill a person we met at the Vans Warped tour in VA Beach... She has asked A Rose of Thanks to be a part of her Community service project we sent her 300 cards and a few other contacts to help with her care packages.
 
and last but not least we were out at the Eucharisitc Congress in Charlotte and collected of over 300 cards for our troops! 
 
NOTE:  
We are less than 3 months  from Christmas so please take the time to Thank a Veteran of all eras Veterans Day is coming up on November 11. 
 
If you are going to send out a care package to our troops for Christmas please keep in mind that they need to go out by the end of the 1st week in December to get there on time,  if you need to get an address or need some help with where to get contacts please visit our webste www.aroseofthanks.org and click on the links tab. 
 
Keep our wouded veterans in your thoughts as well we have come out with a card for wounded veterans and one for the Holiday season as well!  
 
Should your organization need a speaker for the holidays about making a difference and how it all starts with just one.   A Rose of Thanks started with just one card and this card has literally touched the lives of over 25,000 people since Valentines Day of 2007, when we sent out the 1st card!
