Just think, what a nicer word it would be, if................... we all lived in "MOLLY'S WORLD". :-)
Without all the press releases, new's interveiw's, hoop-la. I wanted to become a part of this group for one reason, one reason only, for the "TROOPS". I love the idea of what this group does. And I love being a part of Molly's idea. When I posted it on my fb page, pepsi reshresh contest, when I asked my friend's and client's to vote, I did it for the troops. They need this. They need to know that Americia is behind them, they need the item's, the hug's and the love that is sent in every box.
Molly is a wonderful, great leader. I have never had the pleasure of meeting her, but I know that she has a HUGE heart.She is deserving of all the recongition that comes with this, she is the cheif and we are the indian's. Without each other, no one would survive!!!! You, we just helped her carry out her idea, who knew it would go this far????? My hat is off to each and every one of you ladies, you all are truley special. -

KRW ----- we are all so amazing here its funny because I KNOW the minute someone becomes involved they are the greatest most loveing person
someone asked me how do you recruit people ------- I laughed and said they find us , they just follow their heart and it leads them here.
What I LOVE more then anything ---is that we are NOT about our own children. we know they have good moms, why do we need to adopt them ? We are after sending love to those that may not get any love and if our children happen to be in that group *bonus* I love how we love consider them all just as important as the next !!
I swear I have never in my life been involved with such pure love !! (hooyah) -

In the hopes of receiving some items for raffle and or spectators to come to the 1st LEGENDS SHOW in SUPPORT OF MOLLY'S ADOPT A SAILOR, on Sunday September 26 being hosted by the Vietnam & All Veterans of Central Florida, I have forwarded the Pepsi Refresh News Release to the following:
WESH2 News in Orlando, Florida
Richard Anderson, City Commissioner of the City of Apopka, Florida
Mayor Scott of Ocoee, Florida
Staples
TWC Air Conditioning
Journey Christian Church - this one was actually given at the request of a Naval Recruit from the Altamonte Springs Naval Recruiting Station. The DEPs will be present at the show along with their Petty Officers and Naval Command from Jacksonville to SUPPORT their brothers and sisters serving overseas. They were extremely excited about being introduced to the public as the future Navy Sailors and future recipients of the Love of Molly's Adopt A Sailor Moms -

Thank you Dana! This GREAT! Awesome - I will be getting out to my contacts in the media in the Fargo/Moorhead area and our local "little" town papers. The Gal that manages the Washington Square mall, offered it up to be used for a packing party (Detroit Lakes) and she is also in charge of the local cable station. (we all wear several hats up here) Have got some things lined up with a couple of churches. My sister in law told me they are looking for service projects to do! Takes time - but it is in the works!
I will get it off to the MPLS / St Paul Stations & Tribune.
TIME TO ROCK AND ROLL is right! Whhooo Heee! -

Wow, all great submissions and the Crommelin too! It's really important to keep the momentum going. If you haven't been to Facebook you should. There is a Corporate Pepsi release on the wall that mentions MAS and some others out of all the finalists. What an honor!
