DECEMBER! F R G N E W S L E T T E R! 2011
Although it’s not always obvious, the TF Wolfpack FRG was busy again this past month working in the background to
make things happen for the unit.
We started December with a trip to Give to the Troops in Greenville, NC to pick up donations that we could use for
the 413 stockings that are going over to our deployed troopers.
With goods in hand, we got right to work stuffing and packing the stockings to make it into a military shipment that
is targeted to arrive in time for Christmas.
Mid-month Karen Foshee got us squared away on our health and fitness
goals with an awesome class held at the Army Wellness Center.
And then was organizing the Holiday Party for December. That committee of 2 has been coordinating efforts
between Rear D, MWR and Brigade to try to make it a fun evening for everyone.
Thank you all for all you do! Your
support of the unit is truly appreciated!!
It’s been a busy month...
VOLUNTEERS HARD AT WORK STUFFING STOCKINGS TO SEND OVER TO OUR DEPLOYED TROOPERS.
THE KIDS CAME OUT TO “HELP” TOO!
Wolfpack
STUFFING THE 413 STOCKINGS WAS MADE POSSIBLE WITH THANKS TO THE DONATIONS THAT ARE RECEIVED BY GIVE TO THE TROOPS AND GIVEN TO UNITS AT FT. BRAGG.
MORE IMPORTANTLY WERE THE DONATIONS FROM FAMILIES AND FRIENDS OF TF WOLFPACK WHO COMMITTED THEIR OWN PERSONAL DOLLARS TO TRY TO MAKE THE HOLIDAY AWAY MUCH LESS DIFFICULT. WITHOUT YOU, WE COULD NOT HAVE MADE THIS HAPPEN.
STOCKING STUFFING EVENT!
Happy Holidays From Your FRSA!
This month’s FRSA Finds features my
Education class scheduled for DecembeR 15th, at our battalion
classroom. Many spouses have a deep
interest in furthering their education and this class will assist them with all
the information pertaining to financial aid, grants, loans, and various schools
they can attend online or the
traditional way.
You will also find in my following
pages a hometown recipe that’s been in my family for years as well as a 30
minute recipe. Celebrate the holidays
with a nice caramel pecan apple pie! You will love the smell in your kitchen
as well as the taste in your mouth!
Speaking of pies, on November 9th
we had Pies for Patriots where we
had apple and pumpkin pies delivered
to us and spouses and soldiers came and got some just in time for the
holidays.
I’ve worked hard in completing all of
the rosters. Now that everything is
updated, we will start doing call outs over the next few weeks.
We will be hosting our annual holiday party on December 9th. Our very
own SSG Brinkerhoff will be Santa
Claus and he will also have some soldiers as his elves. SPC Baker and
SPC Harkness worked hard in building from scratch the Santa chair.
You can see those pictures here!

If you are a loved one going through a deployment... we hope that in this site you will find an understanding of your situation... you are not alone.
There are a lot of resources out there, but who has the time to search for them during a deployment.
You may feel very alone in what you are going through. It is our hope and prayer that this website will give you some feeling of connection and equip you through the deployment.
