HHSB FRG INFORMATION FOR 04/19/2008

Greetings families,
I hope this finds you getting more and more out of the house with the weather changing. I imagine everyone heard about the earthquake that happened. That sucker was strong, I have family in Memphis, Tn and they even felt it down there, but now that everyone is over it guess I will to and tell you about some things that are coming up and some new editions.

1. Battalion Event hosted by HHSB on May 3, 2008 at 10:30 am in Indianapolis at Stout Field ETab. There will be alot of things going on. We are going to have video messaging that will be sent out that day to your soldier (bring your soldiers email address). Food being sponsored by the Amvets, games and packing for our all of our soldiers here and far away. So come one come all bc a lot of fun is going to be had at this event!!!!

2 Has stressed got you down? Well I have a solution and that is come to Spa Day on Sat. April 26th at 12:00 pm in the Bloomington Armory. There will be manicures, facials, satin hands and many other things. There will be give aways for those that attend. Come on out and become stress free. There will be childcare but all that they ask is that the parents bring an old blanket or sleeping bag (just something to sit on).

3. Congratulations need to go out to the Johanningsmeier family as they have added to their family with Emma Gabrielle Johanningsmeier who was born at 8:00pm on April 17th. She weighs 8 lbs 0 oz and is 21 1/2 inches long. Mother and baby are doing great!

Hello HHSB! I am excited to announce that bowling was a ton of fun. Thank you to The Hubbard's, The Ayers', The Frye's, Kelly Davis, and Misty Piker for going in on some bowling for the troops fun.

I am pleased to announce that Angela Pickett and Stephanie Ayers were nominated from HHSB for the FRG Award of Excellence which is an award that will be presented at the May 3rd event. GOOD LUCK LADIES!

We are preparing for our newsletter and are seeking information on the following soldiers:

SPC Justin Porter
SSG Jonathon Faulkner

Pam and Melinda I need your help. Send me pictures and information about your soldier.

A BIG THANK YOU GOES TO SHERRY GUMMER. Sherry has offered to take on the Soldier Parental Liaison. This is a gap we desperately need to fill as we have so many parents affected by their soldier's involvement.

Have a good week and know that HHSB cares about you and your soldier.
