Vets,
Our local Military Families Speak Out (MSFO) chapter is getting organized. They will be coming to our meeting on Thursday night 4/26 to discuss their petition drive scheduled for Saturday, May 12 (day before Mother’s Day). I think we should go all out to help support them. With Congress and the Prez going head to head, we may very well be at a tipping point’
Here is what MSFO folks are thinking about.
Hello All,
Letting you know what happened at our first "official" meeting. We did just mostly meet to get to know one another.
Plans were made for a petition signing rally. This will take place May 12th. Time and location is still in the works. We are looking into the sidewalks outside the Saturday Market first (Bonita is going to look into if the Saturday Market will be running at that time), second option was
We need to make different signs for this event, saying what the petitions are, so that people driving or walking by will see ahead of time. If you have a clipboard, please bring.
I also took donations to purchase MFSO bumper stickers, buttons, and car magnets to hopefully sell at that time. If you would like to donate for this, please email or call me. I want to put the order in, in the next few days.
Cheaman and I have also created a flyer to hand out and post around town, so that other military families know that we are here and they are not alone. I have attached it, if you want to print out some for yourself in the meantime.
We want to try to coordinate this event with the Veterans For Peace.
Our next meeting will be held with Veterans For Peace, this Thursday at 7. It is at St. Mary's. I will email directions as soon as I get them.
Hope to meet more of you. I will be in touch soon.
Blessed Be!
