One day a bunch of girls, brought together through family ties, decided that it was time to do something to give back to the community. All of these dedicated women had always understood the importance of never taking advantage of the opportunities they had been afforded throughout their lives. It was the notion of giving back that inspired them to form a small forum, an outlet by which they could volunteer and raise awareness for a variety of charitable organizations.

Soldier's Angels - August 14, 2010

On August 14th, as many of the GGB that we could muster, met at Lindsay's house to pack up care packages for soldiers who are currently overseas. This is a cause that is very near and dear to Lindsay's heart, since her husband Ethan was overseas for 15 months during the early part of their relationship. All of us purchased a variety of items to send to the soldiers, including wrapped foods, puzzles, and magazines. See the following link for more information on how you can get involved with Soldiers Angels. We were amazed at how simple it was to give back!
