Operation VISIT Family

Vacations In the Sun for Injured Troopers and their Families

Action

From yourself, enthusiastically support the aims and goals of the program, display the collateral as appropriate, and where possible produce your own personalized message (e.g. insert in room welcome and information book).

Send your total donations on a regular basis (EFT is preferred) to the account provided.

Tell as many of your industry colleagues (even competitors) to also sign up to this worthy program. You already operate and control a successful business, therefore, you have probably already worked out (the tax deduction for little company outlay, is a given) that the initial target of $150,000 is very achievable and with just a few more likeminded individuals could easily grow to substantially more. We, as a chapter, have the individual skill sets to handle the problem of fast growth (EX CEO’s, Dr’s, MBA’s, Airborne Soldiers tend to make talented civilians, but of course, I am biased!), indeed we would very much like to have that problem, as we would be able to help so many more of our service personnel.

What we will do, is to ensure the finances of the program are as visible as possible, and by keeping the A1 charity rating, maintain the integrity of the program. We will produce a web site which be open to the general public and display all the income sources and costs. This openness will ensure program transparency and make it almost self-policing. We will produce as much of the collateral as we can and make available to you. We will get involved in whatever publicity is deemed appropriate to promote your companies and personal participation in the program. We will liaise with the military chaplains, who will be responsible for selecting the most needy on a lowest rank highest priority basis, to ensure the beneficiaries are prepared, welcomed, and looked after, from departure from home to arrival back home.
