We have an opportunity to purchase a new EWI logo lapel pin, which was made by the EWI's in Atlanta. It is quite beautiful; the new EWI branding and logo added a very stylish look. It is made with Swarovski Crystals and looks great on any outfit, not to mention it's a great conversation piece and recruitment tool. The sale price on these is $20.00.
Contact Carol Bryant to order one!

Other news from our members:
Cell Phones for Soldiers and The Springs Funeral Services
More than 150,000 troops are serving overseas and are away from their families. Cell Phones for Soldiers and The Springs Funeral Services are calling on all Americans to support for these brave men and women by donating your unused cell phones. Cell Phones for Soldiers hopes to collect over 50,000 cell phones this year to help keep troops connected with their families.
"Over the past few years, we have been amazed by the generosity of others. But, we have also seen the need to support our troops continue." says Brittany Bergquist, "Cell Phones for Soldiers" co-founder. "It is easy for Americans to make a small sacrifice of support by donating their unused cell phones, and providing families with a much-needed connection to their loved ones overseas."
Local residents can support the collection drive by donating their phones at The Springs Funeral Services, 3115 E. Platte Avenue, Colorado Springs, CO 80909, 719-328-1793
"We're proud to show our support for U.S. soldiers, and to contribute to a worthy cause like Cell Phones for Soliders," says Terri Flores-Brown, co-owner of The Springs Funeral Services.
About Cell Phones for Soldiers:
"Cell Phones for Soldiers" was founded by teenagers Robbie and Brittany Bergquist of Norwell, Mass. After reading a story about a soldier who ran up a huge phone bill calling home from Iraq, these two teenagers decided to help out. They started by opening an account with $21.00 of their own money. Since then, the registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization has raised almost $1 million in donations and distributed more than 500,000 prepaid calling cards to soldiers serving overseas. They are collecting cash donations and old cell phones. The cell phones are recycled for cash and the proceeds are used to buy prepaid calling cards for our soldiers serving in the Middle East.
Cell Phones For Soldiers is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The goal is to provide every US soldier with a way to call home for free. For more information, please visit http://www.cellphonesforsoldiers.com/
