Hello Everyone,
Yah I know, I said that I wasn’t going to be sending out any emails for a couple of weeks. I just couldn’t keep that promise. I have to make sure that you are aware of what’s going on and what will be happening. We have several things up and coming that I want you to mark your calendars for.
June 14th 10:00 am will be our monthly FRG Meeting which will be held in the Bloomington Armory, located at S Walnut St, Bloomington, IN 47401. This meeting will be ran by Karen Gummer, Kelly Davis and myself Angela Pickett.
June 12-15th Spirit bear will be available at Build-A-Bear. This is a white bear with red and blue stars all over. The cost is $16.00. They also have some cute patriotic outfits for them as well.
June 21st is Holiday World. If you would like to go please make sure that you get your money to me asap. The price for admission is $26.50 for children 3 and up. This does NOT include lunch. You will have to pay for your own food. Please let me or Jenny Tracy know that you are interested in going.
June 28th Picnic with the pops, Bloomington Indiana, Fun time will be had. Come and stop by our tables and see the video of our soldiers that will be displayed and sign a card for a soldier.
July 4th Bloomington Parade. Come out and see several HHB families as they will be riding on a fire truck waving and passing out candy. Lets support each other as this day is about our soldier fighting for our freedom.
Also don’t forget to Nominate an Exceptional Volunteer for a $1,000 Cash Prize! NMFA is accepting nomination for the Very Important Patriot Award (VIP) through June 20th. Find out more or nominate a deserving volunteer today.

And last but not least…message from Jenny Tracy
Hello Fellow Hurricanes! For those of you that don't know HHB's mascot is a Hurricane so that is what I am referring to above. However, it links nicely to my next statement which is IT SURE IS NICE TO SEE THE SUN, it seems like we are in hurricane season and we are 100s of miles away from the ocean.
Over the weekend, the military and FRG leaders were very busy. We each were trying to make sure that all of our families were OK and safe. If you are a home front soldier, PLEASE provide me your families' information and your information. It is imperative that I or my team be able to reach you by phone. Please send an email back to Angela Pickett with you phone # and your families' contact information. THANKS!
The military has been extremely busy over the past few days. 30+ soldiers from the Battalion were activated for State Emergency duty and they have been going since Saturday afternoon. I want to give a big shout out to our AGR (Active Guard) soldiers who spent MANY hours at the Armory handling military and state businesses. Thanks for all you do and the extra hours you have put in:
CPT BOKMEYER
SSG FAULKNER
SSG HALES
SFC MCKINZIE
SFC MURPHY
CSM THOMAS
SFC TRACY
And to those of you that were activated - thank you for your hard work, endless dedication, and passion to make a difference. Please be careful when helping others.
SSG Decker
SFC Wilson
SPC Wells
SGT Killion, Douglas
SGT Killion, Ricky
SSG Richmond
SFC McGlothlin

I look forward to seeing you this Saturday at the meeting at 10AM. I know it will be nice to attend a meeting instead of leading it, and I know it will be tons of fun.
PLEASE KNOW THAT THIS FRG IS FOR HOME FRONT SOLDIERS AND THEIR FAMILIES AS WELL AS DEPLOYED SOLDIERS AND THEIR FAMILIES. WE SUPPORT ALL OF YOU.
Remember to collect aluminum cans and bring them to the FRG meeting. WE WANT ALL OF YOUR ALUMINUM!!!!
Thanks and God Bless!
