Subject: Gold Star Mom Candle Project

*~*~PLEASE REPOST!!! HELP ME GET THE WORD OUT!!!*~*~

Do you know who this wonderful group of women are? http://www.goldstarmoms.com/

They are strong and proud Mother's to America's Son's and Daughters that have lost their life in a war, or are currently serving in a war. Have you ever seen posted in someone's window a red-bordered rectangle with a blue star in it? Maybe 2 or 3? Each star represents a child that family has in the war. When the star is gold...they have lost their life.

On Memorial Day, at the Rolling Thunder Motorcycle Rally - a rally in tribute to our Nations military, the Gold Star Mothers are escorted on back of motorcycles throughout the ride. I'm proud to say that my husband Monty and my Dad will be escorts this year.

Since I will also be in the area, I wanted to do something to honor the GSM's as well. What better way then to present them with a candle. FOR EVERY HOME has even made me a special label for this group.

There is a banquet the night prior to the ride, that the GSM's are attending, and I would like at every place setting, a special thank-you itsy bitsy candle for them.

Here's where I need your help. Please understand - I will make NO profit on these - and they are priced at my cost + tax and paypal fees. I must have all funds collected by May 6th. Each of the candles you donate - will have a gift tag on it with your name. Simply put in the remarks box what you'd like the tag to say.

There will be at least 300 GSM's so that's my goal to start with. I'm requesting donations for groups of 3 candles at a time

$11.50 will purchase (3) 1 oz. Itsy Bitsy candles.
$23.00 for 6
$34.50 for 9
$46.00 for 12

Please submit your donations through http://www.paypal.com Payment email is shop@gotwicks.com

Remember these Women could be you -or your Mom - or your Grandmother...let's give them a candle to light up their nights and let them know we care.

If you have any questions please feel free to e-mail me at shop@gotwicks.com or call at (252) 202-8481

Warmly,
Lorie Nijjar

(Lorie is a retired Army Help pilot who has a big heart and is as honest as they come. If you can help her out with this wonderful gesture...
Hugs to all,
Roxann and Rhiannon)
