Wednesday's Warriors - I Want You for the SOS America Military Tribute


We're getting ready for the 12th Annual SOS America Military Tribute at the RT Booklovers Convention:

 Join Kathryn Falk, Lady of Barrow, in saluting our military heroes and their families. Readers will "deploy" to a military location (themed table) hosted by authors connected to the military, including Heather Ashby, Elizabeth Boyle, Beth Ciotta, Chanel Cleeton, Emmy Curtis, Delilah Devlin, Elizabeth Essex, Lea Griffith, Sharon Hamilton, Elle James, Sabrina Jeffries, Cat Johnson, Kennedy Layne, Ophelia London, Siera London, Merline Lovelace, Sally MacKenzie, Crista McHugh, Lindsay McKenna, Angel Payne, Ella Quinn, Elle J. Rossi, Susan Stoker, Paige Tyler, Julie Ann Walker, and Kimberly Rocha/Book Obsessed Chicks. Plus an Aussie Table with Megan Bamford and a Canadian Table with Julie Rowe to appreciate our Allies!

Your mission includes tasting MREs, navigating the coin challenge, and singing the services' songs - The Army Goes Rolling Along", "Wild Blue Yonder", "Anchors Aweigh", "The Halls of Montezuma", and "Semper Paratus".

This event is open to romance readers and military families in the Dallas area. Sign up for tickets at this link. I will also have tickets available at the SOS America Promo Table in Club RT on Wednesday, May 13.

Contact Kim Lowe, sos.aloha@yahoo.com, to host a table or donate door prizes.


Perhaps you, dear readers, are wondering what you can do to support this event, even if you are not attending.  I am seeking thank you cards (and blank cards) - store bought, home made, and charity giveaways - for readers to sign for deployed personnel.  If you have any cards to donate, please contact me at sos.aloha@yahoo.com.

    thanks for such a fun post! I have 3 rubber ducks sitting on a soap dish in my main bathroom :) There's a long story behind them but I always put them in a place of honor in my bathroom. Thanks for sharing!

    I have a collection of rubber duckies! Of course, now that I'm trying to declutter, I'm trying to figure out what to do with them. :)

    I have a little rubber duck that I got at Target. I got it to take to LA with us when we went to see the Giant Rubber Duck that was part of their Festival Of Sail event.

    The only ducks that I've seen are the "yellow" ones. I had no idea that they came in different variations.

    I don't, but my sister-in-laws brother-in-law has collected thousands of them and has them displayed on shelves.

    I don't have any rubber ducks. I guess I might have had one as a small child, but I don't remember one.

    I have a couple plain rubber ducks. I save them for when my granddaughter comes over to spend the night or needs a bath before she heads home. (This past summer, she had a ball playing in the dump truck load of sand we had just had delivered. Great fun, but we had to hose her down and stick her in the tub before she could do anything else.)

    Just a thought, Kim. If you need more cards, contact the local Red Cross SAF (Service to Armed Forces) representative in the Dallas region. This is the type of event they could support. I am sure you will get a good response from romance readers, but the Red Cross may have some local groups that would like to participate. Of course, they may be busy collecting for their own Memorial Day projects, but it is worth a try if you need extras.

    I have one packed away from when I was a little girl and entered into a plastic duck race contest on the river :-)

    I don't have any ducks, but my little one does. He kind of collects them. :)
    Great event, Kim! I am trying to convince a friend that she needs to come with me to Dallas. ;)
