Dear Snowball Volunteer,
This announcement is being sent to those individuals who in past years signed
up to serve as a volunteer for Snowball Express. Your willingness to
serve the children of our Nation's Fallen Heroes makes you special. Thank
you for serving in past years. I hope that you will sign up to
volunteer again this year and
support the largest
gathering in the world of children and families of our fallen military
heroes.
We are ready to have you sign-up for this year's event. To sign-up simply
click on the link to our new volunteer site.
This year our families will stay in
Fort Worth and travel to events and venues in Fort Worth and Dallas.
We plan to have volunteer opportunities in both areas.
I encourage everyone to sign up. Those volunteers around the country who
show tremendous support at the airport send off
ceremonies should sign up again. Volunteers who will be serving one or
more days in DFW need to sign up. Also, individuals who are not able
to devote a lot of time should sign up. You can devote a few short
hours and have a tremendous impact on these children and families. One of
the public efforts that is most meaningful to
our children and families is the "walk of gratitude", where we
invite the public to simply show up, line the streets, bring American
flags and home made signs of support. This
simple but powerful act shows these families that they have not been
forgotten and the ultimate sacrifice of their hero will never be forgotten.
If you sign-up you will be notified of these tribute events.
I am pleased to announce that we are launching a new volunteer
database that will be much easier for you to use. This system will
also allow us to assign volunteers more efficiently and communicate more
effectively. This system has greater flexibility and will be much easier
to expand as we grow.
Our new database requires that everyone re-register as a Snowball Express
volunteer. We are unable to transfer data from our old system to the
new database. We appreciate your understanding as we undergo this period
of transition. Sign-up is very simple and will only take a few
minutes.
We have also established a volunteer
help desk e-mail system. If you have a question or require assistance,
please address your question to the appropriate contact.
You will be able to access the first support e-mail address directly from
the volunteer sign-up system. Please refer to the last page of the Help
& How To Document that is linked below.
Sign-up or general
questions e-mail:

Some of our volunteers may remember Michelle Carline and Kara
Carline, our Volunteer Coordinators. Michelle and Kara can still be
contacted with questions about background checks or specific volunteer
assignment questions at: VolunteerCoordinator@snowballexpress.org
