HELLO FRG!!! :)

Hello FRG!!!

I hope you are having a wonderful St. Patrick’s day and having a green beer! Lots of updates.

FRG meeting is April 10 @ 11 am! As you may know the Soldiers are due back in August, and this meeting will be the beginning of planning. Due to LOW attendance, I will only hold a meeting in April and June. Then they will be home in August, therefore if you want input in the coming home ceremony the April meeting would be what you need to attend and June will have the final details. Please RSVP at FRG1139th@gmail.com as the American Legion will be providing lunch!

Additionally, we have a specialist coming to speak on preparing for our soldiers’ to come home. As some of you may have experienced prior to this deployment, coming home can be just as difficult as leaving. We all need to be prepared for how this will affect our relationship with our soldiers.

We also need to begin thinking about fundraising, Sonic has offered to allow us to Carhop and keep the tips as donations, but due to the poor attendance at meetings and events I do not think this is a good idea. Maybe we ought to just take donations? I am taking any suggestions if you have them!

IF YOU WANT DOG TAGS—you have to send me your soldiers email address and the name of your kids. The dog tags have to be requested by the solider. Many sent me names of children only and not their soldier’s information. If you send me your soldiers info I can contact them and tell them how to put the request in for the dog tags!
T-shirts have been designed with the Pale Horse Riders logo on it, they are working on making them cheaper. The order forms will be at the meeting, it may be a cool idea to wear them to the Welcome Home ceremony to show who the families are!!

For those who attended the AMAZING Dave Ramsey FPU! If you have questions let me know and we can email him. He said he is more than willing to come back and do a talk for us again!

Also there is a Yellow Ribbon event on March 27th! Check the blog for more information.

LASTLY Family day is May 2nd, more info to come!

I look forward to your emails!
