Starting Line
I am currently using this site to describe things that I am involved in. Each site that I am involved in has its' own page. At this time, each one will describe its' own function.
What is Soldier's Angels?
Our 200,000 volunteer members in over 20 different teams and programs* operate internationally to provide letters, care packages, and comfort items to the deployed, and support for their families here at home. We also provide assistance to the wounded, continuing support for veterans, remembrances and comfort for families of the fallen, and immediate response to unique difficulties.
Through special projects, dedicated teams and individuals supporting our troops, we make a visible difference in the lives of our servicemembers and their families. To find out how you can get involved, check out the list below or learn more here! http://www.soldiersangels.org/

V.O.I.C.E....
stands for Value Of Implementing Consumer Empowerment. Our slogan is ..."Giving Individuals with Disabilities a VOICE. A consumer is a person with a disability.
VOICE is a monthly disability support, education, social, and information group for individuals with disabilities and families who have disabled member (s). VOICE is also open to rehabilitation providers, therapists, counselors, social workers, or anyone else who is interested. Anyone with any type of disabilities (s) or challenge (s) are welcome.
VOICE generally has around 20-30 (or so) individuals who come out each month to participate in our regular monthly meetings. VOICE is always looking for new persons who are interested in participating...that might be you. Feel free to contact us* to learn more about the meetings and VOICE social activities held throughout the year.
The meetings give individuals with disabilities and their families a forum to exchange information, gain knowledge about related issues, improve self-esteem and personal empowerment, and to promote advocacy skills for each participant.
The VOICE Monthly Newsletter+ is posted online at this site, emailed to our email distribution list and mailed via the post office to everyone on our mailing list on the first Thursday of every month.
