Hi there everyone. I talked to Audrey here in North Metro Minnesota, but I also wanted to post this here for families. I have a new newspaper I have started it is called The Happenings Guide. Experience It! Minnesota. The newspaper is basically dedicated to everything in Minnesota, entertainment, happenings, events, life, everything. I have a section called Support our Troops. In this first issue I wrote about the history of The Blue Star Mothers, and I will be also listing all the districts and contact how to join, a link to the state website. Put anyway, what I want is to highlight a indivdual who is in the Military every month. So I am looking for Blue Star Mother's who want to write about their loved one and submit a story and picture for publishing. I am also looking for anyone that is bored to dealth and would like to write articles for this section of the paper. All I can afford is giving you credit for the articles but I want more than just my perspective. My son is a US Marine. If you are interested in either please send your story of your loved on or a story to submissions@happeningsguidemn.com or email me at traci@happeningsguidemn.com I hope we ger a lot of people that want to do this, I think it is a great community piece and that people would love to read about everything Blue Star Mother's do to support our troops.

Thank you and I look forward to hearing from all of you.
