Volunteers
needed!!
03/04/10 The 405th Commanders are very supportive and excited about this
WElcome Home for their soldiers. They will be putting this in their
newsletter, website and if we get Rockport State Park Reservation, they
will bring their families to camp, fish, and come with soldiers to help
set up huge tents. We need to have other volunteers come do this
for them, and put up 4th of July Thank You and Welcome Home Banners all
over. We are very grateful to the 405th. Our meeting at Los
Hermanos with Lte. SMith and Sgt. Hite, and FRG Newsletter editor
Heather Hadley-Hite was just wonderful. Thank you

and banners: Cache Valley, and other schools districts are making

coordinating.
Hello I am Stephanie from New York,
In April our Girl Scout community is holding a service workshop day. My
senior G.S troop expressed to me how much they would like to show their
gratitude to the troops overseas. I am wondering if we can have our
community help you reach your July 4th card goal. Any feedback and
information would be great, so we can begin to gather supplies and
volunteers."
Thank you,
Stephanie
"We are interested in participating in the card and banner 4th of
July service project. We are looking for more information about the
project - dates, materials, etc. We have a middle school class which
focuses on service as part of the curriculum. We use Fridays as our
service days. We would love to set up a time in April for you to come.
We have 5 periods of classes which participate in Synergy Service
Fridays.
Thanks!" Rebecca Peterson Character Development and Service Education

AMAZING DANCE MUSIC FROM UTAH'S BEST ARTISTS:
"IDES OF SOUL" OF PARK CITY

"Denise, We have a great venue to help welcome home the troops and their
families. Kevin, who owns Rockapulco, the consessions at Rockport
Reservoir wants to offer up his facilities. Rockport is about 15 miles
East of Park City. We held our Rhythm & Blues Rondezvous there last
summer, and will do so again in September. The Rockport State park has
all the necessary facities, we have BBQ's, Water trampolins for the
kids, fishing, wave runners, boats, canoes, etc. If this sounds like it
would be a great venue, we will make arrangements with the ranger, who
will certainly support it. Call me and I will give you Kevin's phone
number, and you can talk with him direct. We all want to make this an
enjoyable welcome home for the troops and their families." Greg Daniels
