Poppy Appeal

When I was shopping today I bought my first poppy of 2007. This probably will be the first of many that I'll have to buy as every year I seem to loose at least two before Remembrance Sunday!

Did you know that if you can't buy a poppy locally you are now able to donate online at http://www.poppy.org/

or that you can show your support for the poppy appeal through facebook:

Legion urges Facebook users to give virtual poppies

Stuart Gendall, Director of Corporate Communications for the Legion

“Social networking websites such as Facebook present us with an invaluable opportunity to reach a whole new generation of supporters. We hope that Facebook users can send to and receive poppies from all of their friends in the next fortnight and help us reach our target of 1,011,011 poppies distributed by 11am on 11 November when the nation pauses for the Two Minute Silence,”
