Here are a few entries from the Soldiers’ Angels forums that I keep bookmarked and refer to now and again. These may be useful to Bama Angels who’ve adopted a soldier:
Well, for my first “official” event, I think things went very well. I had plenty of fliers made and came home with just a few left. I had a huge stack of cards with the Soldiers’ Angels mission statement and web address on them, and every single one of those disappeared! (I guess it makes sense … those cards are small enough to fit into a pocket or purse without too much fuss or folding, and the fliers had a TON of information on them!)
Mental note: print more cards next time! 
With the exception(…)
It’s no secret I’m a huge PostSecret fan. One of the postcards listed in today’s edition broke my heart:
From hearing from my own adopted soldiers, and friends and family who’ve served or are still serving, I can only imagine how that soldier feels. It’s got to be one of the worst things in the world — feeling forgotten, unloved.
I hope whoever that card was meant to reach got the message. But how many others are out there feeling the same way?
At the Magnolia Festival yesterday, something struck me as I explained to those who came by(…)
Good morning! This is a quick reminder that I will be running a booth at Gardendale’s Magnolia Festival this upcoming Saturday, April 19th, from 10am to 5pm. I will be handing out information on Soldiers’ Angels to anyone who’s interested and giving out coloring pages and stickers to kiddies. If you’re so inclined, please feel free to come by and say ‘Hello!’
For information, a schedule of events and directions, visit www.MagnoliaFestival.org
I look forward to meeting some of you!
I filed the paperwork this morning and have already begun gathering the necessary materials, supplies, etc. for the booth (space) I will be occupying at the upcoming Magnolia Festival in Gardendale, April 19th! Any area Angels in the area (or passing through) are welcome to come by and see me!

We’re one step closer to getting things ready here. The new domain (BamaAngels.org) is finally in place and all redirections from the old locations seem to be working. Awaiting word from SA central command, but things are looking good so far! Hoping to have the last site design and code changes done pretty soon.
I can see via server logs that several individuals/sites have found this site already. This website is not yet open and if approved by Soldiers’ Angels WILL be moved to a domain of its own.
Soldiers’ Angels is currently working on the organizing and uniformity of state blogs. That said, this website is on hold and will not be open (if at all) until after then.
Any concerns / questions? Please contact me using the form link above.
Update: Opened 03/21/2008
This site will be changing over the course of the next few months in order to get things set up as quickly as possible and ensure that every thing is in place. Thank you for your patience!
