Hello, and how are you today? [;)]

I was opening some mail today (that I got the other day and didn't open then) and had a letter and some mailing labels from Paralyzed Veterans of America. Many of the groups like DAV, VFW and others send out these labels as a fund raising tool. As soon as I open the letter and saw the labels I immediately thought of you. Why? Because on the labels are . . . . . . . . Butterflies. [:)] The labels are nice.

I always try and send a small contribution to each of the groups that send out these labels. The Children's Hospital in Memphis founded by Danny Thomas also sends out nice labels.

So far none of them have had trains but you never know. One day they just might. [;)]

If you want to write this group and see if they will send you some of the butterfly mailing labels the address is:

Paralyzed Veterans of America
7 Mill Brook Road
Wilton NH. 03086

Their website is . . .

www.pva.org

I also have other address for the other groups (like DAV and others) should anyone want to write them and request the free labels. Once you get on their mailing list they will send out free labels every now and then. I can't always make a donation but I sometimes do, and that is enought to keep the label coming. They are of the peel and stick type and work real well plus look nice too. [:D]

Jim - I am doing fine today. How about you? Thank you very much! I will go to their website and check them out. Then I'll get my Mom to write them and see if we can get some of their butterfly labels. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I didn't get a chance to check the forums last night and I had school Today. Thank you again!

I found that you can sign up for free label by using this addy

http://www.pva.org/pvastore/maillabel.html


They probally wil ask for a donation from time to time but I can't think of a reason not to send a few dollars here and there. I think this group is well deserving of a contribution. They (the service people) have made a sacrifice and have lost a limb, that is why they receive help from this organization. I don't mind one bit sending some funds to help.
