Hi DFW, TX Angels,
I just sent out an e-mail to the more active DFW Angels that I'm aware of in this area. I don't know everyone since I'm new but also wanted to make a list of confirmed (and tentative) upcoming list of events for our

Thanks,
Jody

Hi Angels,
It was great to see those of you who were able to join us today at DFW Airport when we went to greet the troops coming home for R&R.
Excel List of Active Angels
I created an excel list of active angels. These are angels I've seen at events or on the Forum. The list is not complete or 100% accurate in regards to name, title etc. I just thought since so many of us will be working on events in the future it would be great to have a cheat sheet. If I'm missing information or my information is incorrect please e-mail me at jodyshervanick @ hotmail.com and I'll update all the information. I'll bring copies for the next airport event or will e-mail everyone an update. Those of us highlighted in red font on the List of Active DFW Angels had a great time and also brain stormed some great ideas for future events today when we ate at Cracker Barrel.
Calendar of Events
Please see the attached calendar of events. This calendar is not set in stone as we know we will be adding many new events to the list. The hope is not the same angels will attend all events but instead we can share the load of events/requests etc. Please share any ideas you have and please recruit, recruit, recruit! This state is huge and we need more Active Angels as our needs are great. Every weekend in November is booked for our Stocking Event which is going to be great. I know per our meeting today many angels are calling local craft fairs, sporting teams and other locations to host a booth. So please check our Texas Facebook Page, 2 Blogs and the Forum too. As Nancy mentioned she'll be the POC for anyone who has questions or needs.
Holidays' for Heroes
I have attached the flyer I created for Las Vegas and tweaked it with Texas copy. Feel free to edit this document so it fits your needs.
Thanks for all you do!
Jody
