Coffee Memorial Help Needed Please
Good morning. We could really use some help with the local blood supply. As of this morning, our O-‘s are desperately low and O+ and A- are not stable. Can you please share the word and ask your friends and family to please come donate? Either at our center at 7500 Wallace Blvd. or a mobile drive.
We are also doing a 10K Vacay giveaway for all donors that donate between today and September 7th and all donors stand a chance to win that amazing package. This Saturday we also have an awesome fun blood drive called GameDay at Coffee Memorial from 11am to 4pm. There will be tons of Dallas Cowboy prizes, BUT one donor will win a Dallas Cowboys package valued at $2,250!!!!
We appreciate you all so much for helping us in our lifesaving mission.

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, ‘I used everything you gave me’.

Hello!
It is once again time for our annual VA Welcome Home celebration, and we are so excited that we will have a new venue in the Amarillo Civic Center for the event this year . If you are receiving this email, you have either joined us in the past, have requested the information, or have been referred to be a part. The event focuses on thanking our Veterans for their service, offering resources and information that may be beneficial to them, and it generates a great crowd.
If you have participated in the past, THANK YOU, and we hope you come back this year! If you have not, we would love for you to join us as we come together as a community to thank our Veterans and their families. We have hosted up to 2000 people at this event in prior years, so you will have the opportunity to share your program/business information with a huge audience at NO COST. All vendor space is FREE and is first come, first serve. Anyone is welcome to have a booth and we welcome you to come and enjoy the celebration and mingle with some of our nation’s greatest. This year space is somewhat limited, and we only have room for 60 vendors, so please get your forms in early!
If you would like to participate, we ask that you return the attached vendor form ASAP to the contact below so we can save a space for you. Lunch is also provided free of charge to everyone in attendance, including Vendors.
If you would like to be in the CHILDREN’s AREA specifically, please notate it on your vendor form. If you have any questions about the children’s area, please contact Reagan Maldonado at the numbers listed below.
See attached for the official flyer for your reference and to share at your place of business if you wish. We hope you will join us and look forward to hearing from you!
