The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society

Ivie Cares recently printed some posters for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The event is the Saint Valentine's Day Luncheon & Fashion Show which is celebrating it's 25th anniversary on February 13th.

The Mission: Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. Since its founding in 1949, the Society has invested $600 million in research specifically targeting leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma. Last year alone, the Society made 5.1 million contacts with patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals.

All Travelers: Hotel Toiletries Needed

If you are someone who travels a lot we could use your help. Many local homeless, children's and women's shelters are in need of toiletries for their residents. Before you leave your hotel, toss all those lotions, shampoos, etc. in your bag and bring them back to the office. Ivie Cares will collect them and get them to local shelters in need.

Here is one organization we have heard about recently:
Cumberland Children's Home

Thank You for Magazines

Hi Kim,
I wanted to let you know again how much I appreciated all the recycled magazines that you brought by my house from you and your co-workers at Ivie and Associates. Every week I was able to ship a care box to my son LCPL Timothy D. Keele, which included the magazines for him to share with his fellow Marines. Instead of throwing them away, you and your co-workers took the time to gather the magazines, bring them to work and then you Kim, made sure I had a slew of them to mail out each week.

I'm very excited to pass on the good news that the 1/3 B Co 1st Platoon will be leaving Iraq soon and be back to their base in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii in about a month.Thank you again, so much, Ivie and Associates employees for donating to my son and OUR countries soldiers. The reading materials helped to pass away some of their down time. Their reading table was just as popular as waiting in the long line to use the phone to call home !!!
Sincerely,
Laura Keele-Kelson

Handmade Greeting Cards

I recently joined a nationwide group that makes handmade greeting cards and sends them to our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. They can be of any design on the front (holidays, anniversary, birthday, miss you, love you, etc.) but the inside should be blank so that the soldiers can write their own personal greeting. An envelope for each card is also needed. The cards can be all the same or all different and any number is appreciated. For those who aren’t able to make cards, monetary donations are appreciated to help with shipping costs.

Anyone who would like to participate can contact me if they have questions and cards can be shipped to me at the Iowa Call Center.

Thank you.
