Neighbors Foundation
This month we will be showing our support to the troops who are on the frontlines of the war on terror. Military Appreciation Mondays will be raising funds for the Great Falls, Va. based group Neighbors Foundation. NIF has provided over 1,600 care packages to servicemen and women serving YOU AND ME in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Some of the things sent include:
• Snack and food items that hold up well in a combat environment.
• Over 75 current magazines regularly donated by Time Warner.
• Holiday items to bring some seasonal cheer.
This month’s dinner at the Old Brogue will be on May 24th. As always, we will be doing two seatings at 5:30 and 7:30. As always, you simply come out and have dinner at the Old Brogue in Great Falls. Myself and my cosponsors will each be contributing a 10 percent match (typically a total of an 80 percent match) of your dinner tab to Neighbors International Foundation. If you know of anyone who might be interested in becoming a co-sponsor, please contact me at bob@bobnelsonteam.com.
You can also show your support through:
A. The purchase of door prize entries. (ALL Proceeds will go directly to Neighbors Foundation)
B. Our buy a vet dinner initiative. We will have between 10-15 enlisted personnel for whom you can buy dinner.
C. Or you can make out a fully tax deductible donation to Neighbors Foundation.

Hope to See You There
Please come out strong to show your support. Due to the heavy rain and the Caps game, last month’s attendance only reach 80 people. While our vets in attendance appreciated this showing, I was hoping to break our previous best of 130. We did manage to raise nearly $3,000. This in part due to one of my recent clients who committed to donating $600 to Our Military Kids. I was also thrilled to learn last month that the March dinner in support of Lift Me Up’s therapeutic horseback riding raised enough money to jump start that program’s efforts and fund three veterans.
Please be certain to thank my co-sponsors when you have a chance.
