HHSB FRG ANNNOUNCEMENTS AND INFORMATION

Hello Everyone,
Hope this finds you doing good and trying to get back into the swing of things for those that went to Ga to see their soldier and for those that stayed in Indiana hope you are staying warm. Here are somethings that will be going on for the month of March that you might be interested in doing that will get you out of the house.

FRG MEETING on March 9, 2008 at 2:00 pm at the Bloomington Armory located at 3380 S Walnut St, Bloomington. Everyone is welcome

2. There is a 76th Brigade group on myspace that might be helpful for some of you that are unable to make it to the FRG meetings for support. This is a free group, but you have to have a myspace account, and be invited into the group by a member of the group which is free to join.Here is the link for my page and you will have to click on add me bc my page is private. If you do have a myspace page make sure that you do not have anything on there that will put your family in jeopardy. NEVER put anything that pertains to the soldiers being deployed or tickers that will put your soldier in jeopardy. It is recommended to put your account on private bc the enemy will use this website as a tool to gain information on soldiers and their families, also it allows you the chance to approve or decline people who you know and those that you dont.

9. While I was in Ga, I got to speak in front of all the soldiers while they were in formation to let them know that we are here for families and that they needed to get their families email information to us so that we can keep our families informed as what is going on. If you know someones email list or phone numbers it would be appreciative if you could let the FRG reps know as like I said we want to keep our families informed of everything that is going on while they are deployed.


JUST A REMINDER IF YOU HAVE MOVED, CHANGED PHONE NUMBERS, OR YOU HAVE CHANGED ANY INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT A FRG REP. IMMEDIATELY SO THAT WE CAN CHANGE OUR RECORDS AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET INFORMATION ABOUT UPCOMING EVENTS AND ANY OTHER ANNOUNCMENTS.
