Our Special Projects & Activities....
On this page we will showcase projects for our Campaign & activities our campaign has done.  If you have an event you would like us to be a part of please contact us, for speaking engagements or to set up an informational booth about our campaign.
For our "Holiday Hugs to our Heroes" project we set up displays at the Harrisburg Wal-Mart and Harrisburg Post Office along with drop boxes to leave donations for the Christmas packages. 
We participated in "Santas Salute To The Troops" at University Mall in Carbondale.  Along with our informational display, we spent the day getting a 10 foot banner filled with messages to send over to a unit in Iraq.
We participated in the "Salute to Veterans" program put on by Harrisburg Medical Center.
In the fall of 2003, "SI Yellow Ribbon" entered the scarecrow contest at the "Past to Present" Festival at the Saline County Fairgrounds.  Our display drew lots of attention and even won 2nd place!
2003 marked the 150th anniversary of our town (Harrisburg).   During the Sesquicentennial celebration they held a costume contest for each era.  Amy's daughter, Callie dressed for the current era, as a US Female Soldier and took 1st place!
.
On November 13th, 2003 "SI Yellow Ribbon" joined the Saline County Chamber of Commerce and held a Ribbon Cutting and Open House.

Over the 4th of July weekend our campaign sets up informational booths at several area festivals to spread the word that we are "still" here for our troops and they NEED us!
