Balfour Beatty Lifeworks Coordinator seeking donations

Hello!


My name is Amanda, the Lifeworks Coordinator through Balfour Beatty Communities for MHAFB.  I am looking forward to planning many events and activities for you and your family in the near future.  We are just getting the ball rolling!  I will only be successful in this endeavor with your help.  As we plan them, our events will be posted on our webpage and facebook page.  They will also be announced by flyer throughout the community.  Still, word of mouth is one of the most powerful forms of communicating the dates and times of our events. I ask for your assistance with this!

  At the moment we are working on creating a fun and exciting place to host our LifeWorks events until our community center is built. This place will be called LifeWorks House.  We will hold a contest to rename the house at a later date.  LifeWorks House will be created and located in one of the older homes on base. There are a few items that we will need for this.  If you are cleaning out and have some things you are looking to get out of your hair, we would greatly appreciate any donations!  All items donate will only be used for events and activities planned for military families that will be no cost to attended… again, ALL activities and events planned through Balfour Beatty are FREE to military families.  We are so excited about this program and look forward to serving our military through this avenue.  Below is a list of items that we need for this particular project.  You can drop off your items at the housing office to be given to me.  I am also willing to come to you to pick up your donations.   Please pass the word!

Because we have several ladies here at the housing office named Amanda, when you call or visit the housing office you will need to ask for LC (LifeWorks Coordinator.)  This helps eliminate confusion. 

Thank you again,

Amanda Lucius-LC

LifeWorks Coordinator

Back to School Back Pack Bash - Monday, August 12, 2013

 

There has been a lot of work going on behind the scenes to ensure this event comes off without any problems.  We had quite a few volunteers to stuff the backpacks.  However, we are in need of help on the day of the event so all the kids can have fun as they get the needed supplies to be successful in school.

 

What do we need:

 

We need people to help out at the various stations during the event and afterwards for clean up.  The event time is 3-6pm and clean up is 6pm-?   Right now we are about half manned.  There will be over 250 kids taking part in this event and any help would be appreciated. If you said you were going to help, great!  PLEASE respond and let me know when.  Our Gunfighter troops have really stepped up to ensure a successful Bash and we are looking to the rest of you to follow suit.

 

I need cookies/goodies.  We are asking for at least a dozen of whatever you want to bring.  Please keep the heat in mind when baking.  If you are baking challenged or don't have time, the commissary is open.  If you don't remember until Monday, the BX sells cookies!!  Beth and I will be taking donations in the upstairs lobby by Moxie on Monday the 12th from 8-noon.  If you miss us, please stop by Gunfighter Park and drop them off at the bake sale table by 1pm. The monies raised helps support the AFAD float and the Christmas party!  So bake or shop away--it benefits you!

 

Don't forget---
