Ladies,
I have just heard from the VP of ALFA. She has been in touch with the CMC. We will be mailing the pcs to her direct, with them labeled properly for each department etc. She will make sure they get to the right people.
If you have pcs ready to roll to go, let ME know as she is keeping track of the count. -

The Head at Ease group has a note that it puts in each pillowcase. This note is not appropriate for the Lincoln Moms because this is your project and should reflect that. I did borrow text from our HAE note but I am very willing to change it to suit you.
You will note that I have created an e-mail address for the Lincoln group. HAE has found it very rewarding to receive notes back from some of the recipients of our pillowcases. Somehow it makes it less like the pillowcases are going into a black hole.
When, and if, we get a note that you like, I will create a pdf file with four notes. I print mine on plain paper and cut them apart.
Please let me know what you would like to see on the note. -

looks wonderful Dori and thanks for working on this for the Lincoln moms.

hey, how about a heart with praying hands to one side but kinda in the middle of it,and an anchor at an angle to the other side ? That they are in our hearts, and we are praying that God willl give them safe harbor in any storm
And the wording sounds perfect! -

Dolly, I can easily put a heart on the note. I am less sure about the anchor given the time frame we are working on. I need to get your "Sox" done first. Both have to wait until tomorrow because today is DH's outing day. It is cold here and I think I might prefer staying in and sewing but I guess he deserves a day.
Also, as I was going to sleep I wondered whether you want to have "Lincoln Mom Love" or "Lincoln Moms' Love"? -

Actually, it hasn't been just us Navy Moms who have given so much love into this,it has been wives,church members,school children,neighbors,even husbands ! I don't know how to word it, but they need to be acknowledged for their love and effort, too;; not that they did it for that reason, but just because they send their love too, and they do,in all fairness, deerve the recognition. And it has been such a wonderful project,bringing everyone together with one goal in mind....a sailor who knows he or she is loved...
