Hi everyone! I will be selling the
remainder of the Veterans for a Change children’s
workbook at the 20th Anniversary UAW
Region 4 Veterans Conference this spring.
I have enclosed an order form for those
who would like to order now. This in a one time special,
so order your copy soon or pick one
up this spring at the conference. I only have
140 books left, once they are gone,
they are gone. Donate books to K-8 school or class in
teaching children the meaning of Veterans.
Children are our Nations most precious natural resources.
Educators with 100 years of teaching
experience have compiled a workbook full
of ideas to promote patriotism and
service to others.
THANKS!!
