Operation Baking Gals

Today is a very special post, that is not about my recipes per say, but rather about making my recipes mean something to others. As I was surfing my daily baking blogs, I stumbled across a blog...rather a movement...that is getting together to bake cookies and treats for our soldiers overseas called Operation Baking Gals. Instantly, I was drawn in knowing I had found my calling to put my oven to work in the most positive way.

Having lost my best friend Chase in Iraq in back in 2004, I found this the perfect way to honor his memory, and to combine my passion of baking, to help support all of our men and women out there that go through so much everyday just to stand up for what we believe in. I want them all to know we thank them and applaude them...and what a better way to send love than in a homemade chocolate chip cookie?

A little more on Operation Baking Gals...Operation Baking GALS will be supporting our troops every month, once a month, and instead of our soldiers getting deodorant and soap, they'll be getting the one thing they can't get from the canteen - Homemade goodies made with LOVE. They will be assigning a different soldier to certain sub-groups of bakers each month so that we spread the love, and that way, a homesick troop will have a package with HIS name on it, filled with goodies to share. Now, does that not sound like one amazing movement?! I am so honored to be a part of this and if you would like to get involved too, please go visit Susan's website linked above.

I will keep you updated via my postings and share all the goodness I will be sending over too.

What a treat.

Hey, KelseyKakes!

You commented on a Baking Gals blog entry about getting press. Try sending a press release to every media outlet in your area. It's such a terrific story that someone will want to pick it up.

I directly contacted a freelance reporter that I know and she pitched the story.

I Have Witnessed That Sensible Real Estate Agents Everywhere You Go Are Starting To Warm Up To FSBO Advertising. They Are Recognizing That It's More Than Simply Placing A Poster In The Front Property. It's Really About Building Associations With These Traders Who Someday Will Become Customers. So, When You Give Your Time And Efforts To Supporting These Retailers Go It Alone -- The "Law Of Reciprocity" Kicks In. Thanks For Your Blog Post. Casino Terpercaya
