Virtual philanthropy project for November 10, 2009
Please join us this week as we say thank you to all our veterans and current members of the armed forces for their service to our nation. If you know an Alpha Chi Omega sister serving (or retired from) the military, today and tomorrow (Veterans' Day) is a great chance to say thank you. Many of you probably also have AXO sisters whose husbands, boyfriends, brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers or other family members are deployed, on active duty, in the reserves, and/or are veterans. These families make big sacrifices and deserve our gratitude. Take a minute to send them a note, post a message on facebook, or give them a call. It will make a difference to them!
Learn more about Alpha Chi Omega and Veterans' Day (and share your story) here http://ow.ly/B34Z and then join us in helping spread the word and our gratitude. Here's how:
On Twitter, tweet a message like this:
Thank you veterans and current members of the armed services! We appreciate you! #AXO #gratitude
OR
