Operation Purple Family
Retreats
It is difficult on the
entire family when a loved one is
deployed, but the time after that
father, mother, husband, or wife
returns home is often the
most
challenging of all. Recognizing this,
the National Military Family Association
is piloting two Operation Purple®
Family Retreats. These free,
four-day
retreats are set in a National Park
using nature’s classroom, where families
will have opportunities to strengthen
and renew relationships,
explore their
natural surroundings, and participate in
fun family-focused activities.

DO YOU LIKE TO VOLUNTEER?
DO YOU LIKE TO HELP MILITARY FAMILIES?
DO YOU ENJOY WORKING WITH THE PUBLIC, COMMUNITIES AND LOCAL BUSINESSES?
If you answered
"yes-yes-yes", then OPERATION RECOGNITION is the place for you. Operation
Recognition is a non-profit organization founded in Edgecomb, Maine for the main
purpose of saying “Thank You” to military service members and their families
with a week of relaxation, rejuvenation and healing as a family unit. To date,
Operation Recognition has provided 20 military families with a week of R & R at
The Sheepscot Harbour Resort and Village in Edgecomb, Maine. As the request for
this opportunity grows, so does the need to have volunteers. They need a few
good men and women to volunteer their time to help with some terrific
fundraising opportunities.
If you would like to know
more about who they are and what projects they have coming up, please contact
Tina
at (207)
582-0854, send e-mails to oprec2007@yahoo.com, or visit the

FREE Oil change at Capital Car Care,
Western Ave., Augusta
In appreciation to the services provided
by the members of the Maine National Guard who are now serving in Iraq
and Afghanistan we are pleased to announce a free service to their
spouse while they are deployed in Iraq.
During the term of their service in Iraq
and Afghanistan, we will provide a free oil change and lubrication
service on the vehicle their spouse is using while they are away. This
is to be a specified vehicle and the service will be performed every
4000 miles at our place of business. Should that vehicle be traded or
lost due to accident we will perform the same services on a replacement
vehicle. This service will be continued until the service member
returns home from duty in Iraq or Afghanistan.
To any unmarried service member with
children here at home we will extend the same service to the principal
person looking after those children (parent, relative, neighbor, etc)
The procedure is simple. Simply come in
and identify the person in Iraq or Afghanistan, identify yourself and
the vehicle to be serviced – that’s all! Ask for Dan, John, Steve
or Bob Brooks and we will do the rest.
This is neither an advertisement nor a
publicity program. It is our small way to show the men and women that
we support what they are doing and wish them will while they are away.
FREE COMPUTERS
Contact John Potter at 993-2459. In
conjunction with the American Legion Malcolm Glidden Post #163, you may be able to get a
free computer. Any military family can apply by calling
John.
If you have a computer that you'd like to
donate... Call John...
