		<description>It was a great event with a great turnout.  Several non-profits and volunteer organizations were highlighted as well.  It is refreshing to see so many others who are giving back.  Thank you Tampa Gem SERTOMA and the entire SERTOMA community for your outreach.</description>

		<description>My name is Carol and I am writing to you on behalf of our
organization, 1s In A Lifetime, LLC, and it&#039;s founder Dan Shutt.  Let
me begin by saying that, even though neither Dan nor I have had the
privilege of service, we both have Fathers who are Veterans, and both
have peers and their children who have served and are serving, so
please accept our constant gratitude for you and all who have given so
much so that we may all enjoy the fruits of Liberty.

I have come to let you and all your friends know about a HUGE world-wide event we are building at www.onesinalifetime.com.  
On November 11 of this year, at 11:11:11 the time and the date are all &quot;1&quot; (11:11:11 on 11/11/11) this is a ONCE in a lifetime event, but also a ONES in a lifetime event.
We have begun a party to celebrate that moment, and to recognize in that moment that, like the time and the date, we are all &quot;1&quot; in our humanity.  I would love to hear back from ANYONE who would like more information, and am excited to make new friends all over this world.  I am looking forward to meeting YOU.  And we are looking forward to you and your friends joining us in this world-wide party ... the 1 party you do NOT want to miss.&quot;

When you join please say Carol sent you! 

THANKS !!!</description>

		<description>I am so excited to share how this AMAZING organization gave Operation Hug-A-Hero a check for $5,000 this weekend!  The Jack and Ginny Luther Family and the entire Lt Robert B Fletcher Memorial Foundation are phenomenal and so giving.  It was a superb event with so much support and so much heart and soul put into it.  I learned a lot about this gentleman and his family and feel honored to have been the first non-profit they supported.  Because of your help, you just made a LOT of our Little Heroes feel closer to their mommy or daddy.  God bless you all.</description>

		<description>In the middle of my husbands 13 month deployment we were so fortunate to receive two daddy dolls for my, then 1 yr old and 4 yr old.  I was unsure of how much they REALLY meant to them until news came that he was deploying again after only 6 months home.  When I talked with my 5 yr old about what was going to happen she looked at me and said &quot;Momma, I am going to be OK ... I have my Daddy Doll&quot;.  It was at that moment, with tears in my eyes, that I truely realized how AMAZING this organization is.  Thank you so much for EVERYTHING!!!</description>

		<description>We know many families who have received one of these dolls.  It is amazing to see the smile on a child&#039;s face when they are hugging &quot;mommy&quot; or &quot;daddy&quot; and know that it is their own small connection to their parent who is selflessly serving our country.  Thank you Operation Hug a Hero for all you do!</description>

		<description>This is a great service for those wanting to shop online with Safety and Security with their online purchasing. A new article out today says that 55% of web users will shop online this Christmas.  What can be better than the ability to shop at over 700+ stores from my comfy chair and at the same time raise money for my charitable cause every time I even search ?  Oh and did I mention the prices are great too? Hope everyone reading this picks Operation Hug-A-Hero as their cause. 

Heres is the link to the article on the 55% xmass shoppers: http://www.networkworld.com/news/2010/111810-55-of-web-users-will.html?source=nww_rss

		<description>I love iGive!  With just the routine online shopping that I do year-round, I have generated over $100 in donations to Operation Hug-A-Hero!  That is 4 dolls for our military kids just by doing what I would already do anyway!
