Family Members Connect with Wisconsin Troops Through the Donation of Technologically Advanced Greeting Cards

July 15, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Madison, Wis.—Family members of the Wisconsin Air National Guard’s 115th Fighter Wing were the first group to receive the opportunity, but others will soon follow in sending a glimpse of home to loved ones stationed oversees.

This summer, Spectrum Digital Services, LLC, along with the Outlook Group, Inc., Bradner Smith, Glyphics Media, Inc., and Milwaukee PC, will donate more than 9,500 SpinCardTM greeting cards to the family members of Wisconsin’s troops stationed oversees. The specially printed SpinCardTM greeting cards combine a greeting card with a matching recordable CD. Although designed for anyone to send to a loved one, it is especially meaningful to military families and friends since the cards allow digital photos, music, personalized video and audio greetings to be shared with loved ones who may be thousands of miles away.

According to Robin Olson, whose nephew has had two deployments overseas, “This card is a great way for our family to share summer celebrations with him. We’re able to send photos from reunions, graduations, and other family fun times he’s missing on one small disc. It keeps us connected at a whole different level.”

In addition to the SpinCardTM greeting cards donated to the 115th Fighter Wing, Spectrum Digital Services will donate the greeting cards to the families of the 2,030 Wisconsin Army National Guard soldiers currently serving on active duty (three cards per family).

“The sacrifices our troops make while serving our country are commendable,” said Russell Gnant, President & CEO of Spectrum Digital Services, LLC. “We’re proud to donate our product to their families as a way of saying ‘thank you for your sacrifice.’ We hope that the SpinCardTM greeting cards give the troops a glimpse of home and make them feel more connected with their loved ones.”

SpinCardTM greeting cards may also be purchased in other categories that include Miss You, Birthday, Wedding Favor, Birth Announcement, Thank you, and General Occasion, etc. They retail for $4.99 and are available at Milwaukee PC locations throughout the state, select Woodman’s Food Markets, and select Pick ‘n Save locations.
