Marine Moms-Bethesda January notes
Please join Marine Moms-Bethesda in supporting our combat wounded, injured and ill Warriors by sending a note of support and encouragement for us to give them while we are there. Emailed notes can be sent to Notes4Bethesda@MarineMoms-Bethesda.org
This is an ongoing project and notes are welcome anytime. Deadlines are provided only for the cutoff date for an upcoming luncheon, arranged monthly. More information about our Notes4Bethesda campaign is here.
What kind of information would you like to see? What has worked for you that we can share with others? How can we help?
This is still in the thought stage. If you have a little time and would be willing to share ideas, thoughts, suggestions with us, or can spare a little time to answer our random questions, we would love to hear from you! Most of our communication would be through email, therefore geography is not a concern. You can contact Jane by emailing, Jane@MarineMoms-Bethesda.org. Thanks!

*HELP!* I would like to put together a team of 3 or 4 wounded Warriors, and wounded warrior parents and spouses to help us when we have questions for:
- Planning our events at Walter Reed on the 4th floor combat wing, Mercy Hall, and Richmond VAMC.
- Information to include in our newsletters.
- To help with making our website more "wounded Warrior and their families Friendly."
