Valentine's Day is fast approaching, and the colors pink and red litter many store shelves.

Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers, better known as BOSS, in Fort Riley, Kan., will be offering a new way for citizens around Riley County to celebrate their loved ones.

The group is providing its annual Valentine's Day Sing-A-Gram service to Riley County. As part of this service, anyone in the Riley County area can place a Sing-A-Gram order for $20, which includes a song that is sung by volunteer soldiers, along with candy and balloons.

People can choose their Sing-A-Gram song from a list of well-known tracks, including the classic "You Are My Sunshine," "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" by Aerosmith and "I Just Called to Say I Love You" by Stevie Wonder.

Soldiers sign up to volunteer for this service weeks prior to Valentine's Day, and between Tuesday and Thursday they deliver all the Sing-A-Grams ordered.

The Sing-A-Gram service is just one of many fundraising events that the group puts on throughout the year.

BOSS organizes these fundraisers to offer trips and activities to single soldiers at Fort Riley. Recently, the group provided a trip to Chicago, and sometimes there are comedy trips to Kansas City, Mo.

Spc. Desaree Molina, president of the group, said soldiers really get into the part of singing and dressing up for the Sing-A-Grams. She said in the past, soldiers have dressed up as Elvis Presley and characters from "The Wizard of Oz."

"It's fun for the soldiers and gives them the opportunity to dress up, get out of work and have fun for the day," Molina said.

Molina said this is her first year with the program, and this will be her first time going out with the soldiers on their deliveries. This year, the group has 15 requests for Sing-A-Grams so far.

"It's going to be hilarious," she said. "Something that is going to be fun for everyone all around."

Teresa Mayes, manager of the Information, Ticketing and Registration office at Fort Riley, admitted to having a Sing-A-Gram delivered to her in the past.

"The experience was pretty amazing and really kind of funny," Mayes said.

If you would like to order a Sing-A-Gram, contact the office at 785-239-5614. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
