Tips for Writing Notes (letters or cards) to GS troops and Families Affected by the LA Area Wildfires

What you should know before you write your letter or card?
•Write all your notes by hand. This gives your message a personal touch (This shows the reader how much you care).
•Make it clear. Make sure the lettering is neat and clear so they can read the words you wrote.
•Make it personal. You can add stickers, drawings, use vibrant colors, sparkly pens, and other personal touches!
•Don’t write the date. It may take longer than normal for this letter to be delivered.

What should I write about?
•“Thinking of you” Decide what type of note you’re writing and let the message guide your writing.
•Be kind and thoughtful. When you begin to write, think carefully about what yo u want to say and how you can spread kindness. Consider how you can create a unique message that comes from your heart. How can you make the card extra special?
•Be creative. Use your creativity,imagination,and talents to make your note fun and unique!Consider drawing a picture, decorating your note and envelope, or adding in a puzzle that you create or a game you love.
•Start with“Dear Friend”Even if you don't know their name you can start the note as “Dear Friend” it will make them feel special and that you care.
•Introduce yourself. Let your reader know who you are and why you’re writing.
•Send positive thoughts. Share your positive thoughts and well wishes.
•Share a little bit about yourself. Share a story that will make them happy, something that you have been participating in or a hobby you can share with them.
•Avoid religion, political and personal stories or views. Since they don't know exactly who will receive the note, make sure your letter is kind and written so anyone that receives it will feel like it is for them.
•Sign your first name and what council you are from. Sign your note to show your reader it is coming from a kind person, YOU! While it is important that this letter come from you, please don't share more personal (like where you are from, your last name, phone number)--if they know your name and that you care, that is more than enough.
