March 2008. Talking about throwing baby showers and donating the gifts to young Army wives and possibly a crisis pregnancy center. And, um, no. No radio microphone in the delivery room. LOL -
Palin:
[Bob] Wants KWHL to throw me a baby shower. I say “yes” , if the gifts can go to these young Army wives who don’t have much, they’re far from their families, the dads aren’t there for the newborns first months , etc. And now Ft. Wainwright ‘s aviation unit was notified of a four month extension on deployments. Would u assign someone to work with Bob on that angle? Thanks
Kris Perry:
Yes, I’ll give him a call initially and then have someone work with him on details. Love the idea about the young army wives.
Sharon Leighow:
Governor- I have been asked about a baby shower in Juneau. I have already received offers to host it. Please let me know if you would be interested in a similair event. I too think the idea of helping young Army wives is fantastic.
Palin:
I would be interested in such a thing in Juneau – perhaps a different group of recipients for this area? Maybe to benefit the local Crisis Pregnancy Center?
Kris Perry:
I spoke w/Bob. He agrees on the donation and thinks it’s great. He brought up the possibility of doing it after the baby is born so the baby would be present as well. He’s envisioning ALOT of people, i.e. Egan Center and I’m not too sure about that idea. We’ll work out details once timeframe is determined.
He also asked again about the live audio recording of the birth and what you thought. A private moment?
Palin:
Don’t want to take this too far. Kinda wish I hadnt had to tell anyone, but crazy to think it could have been hidden long. No- no Egan, and I’m not going to assume this will be as smooth and easy as the other kids’ births, so can’t imagine inviting in a rock radio microphone.

Press release for the baby shower. Some edits by the Gov at the link. This is the final version:
August 15, 2008, Juneau, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin today announced she will attend a baby shower in Trig Palin’s honor next week and that all gifts will be donated to help military families.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the Family Ties Foundation. The foundation is a non-profit organization created to provide immediate support for the military families of wounded service members deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom. The event is being hosted by local morning radio personalities Bob and Mark from 106.5 KWHL.
“My family has been so blessed by the arrival of Trig. It is my honor to share that blessing with our men and women in uniform through this event ,” Governor Palin said. “I invite all Alaskans who’d like to support our wonderful military families to participate.”
The event will take place at Romano’s restaurant, on Fireweed Lane at C Street, on Monday from 5 to 7 p.m. The public is invited. Romano’s restaurant will donate a portion of the sales from the evening to the Family Ties Foundation.
How can anyone NOT love that woman!
Run Sarah, PLEASE!!!
Thank you for posting.
very nice thanks for posting.
Palin is just awesome!
God can change hearts and open eyes. After reading her e-mails I pray that at least a few of these people feel regret for their cruel treatment of Sarah.
The libs dug for dirt and struck gold — for us.
Sarah is a special person..she is a truly genuine, wonderful person..it makes me SO angry when people trash her..I’d walk over broken glass to vote for this woman
No kidding. It reminds me, as many thing do, of the tale of Bartholomew’s Hat, you know, where the little peasant boy who, every time he took off his hat for the king, a better and more wonderful hat appeared beneath it? Who else would stand up this well on a surprise inspection of all their communication for the last couple of years? This is really amazing.
NOT!
This is blowing up in the RAT media’s face even better than I could have hoped for. Turning into a Wellstone memorial.
Why, the nerve of her!! How dare she?!!
(do I really need a sarc. tag?)
They have to counter the good that came from the e-mails, which is why there is a new round of lies, false polls etc out in force the last two days.
Unfortunately there are still a lot of people who fall for the MSM lies, people who should know better. Hopefully the Undefeated will end it all and show America just what a special gift they have in Governor Palin.
Just mailed to family and friends....some people’s (obomba voters) heads will be exploding....
We did not have a Veterans Memorial in our town. So we built one. Without a penny of taxpayer money. The list goes on.....
I am not special because I did these things. We are not special because we did these things. These men and women who put their lives on the line are the special ones!
As of right now I'm a BIG Sarah Palin fan. This information means a lot to me. Thank you Sarah Palin! And thanks to all in the military and those that have been in the military!
There are a lot of those around here even who still believe the Propaganda Ministry’s lies.
You’re a damn fine person. I am sure all the people you have helped think so too.
Ping me when these acts of kindness are aired on CNN. Oh, never mind.
She’s so EEEEEEEVILLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a very self-less act at a time in a womans life when she is normally very self absorbed.
Impressive.
