COOKIE DRIVE........6 DAYS TO GO!!!!!

Hello Cookie Drive Volunteer,

 

Thank you for volunteering with the 2013 Gunfighter Cookie Drive! 

 

The Highlights-

PACKAGING DAY at the Commissary

 

Monday, 9 December

 

Curbside Cookie Drop off (7:30-9:30 am)

 

Packaging Volunteers needed (8 am until about 10-11 am)

Bring a hat, ages 16 and older only in the commissary

 

The Details-

 

Cookie Baking Volunteers- Please bake colorful durable cookies for us to package and give to our Airmen in the dorms.  Cookies can be dropped off at the curb of the commissary from 7:30-9:30am on Monday, 9 Dec.  This means you can drive up to the curb and hand a volunteer your cookies.  Drop off should be quick and easy for people on their way to work or dropping off the kids at school.  Please bring cookies in a disposable container.  If you put your cookies in a Ziploc bag please place them in a clean box to support them.   Please volunteer to drop off neighbor’s and co-worker’s cookies and save them the trip.  Brownies and other cookie sized yummies like coated pretzels are very welcomed too.

 

Where to go if you volunteer for curbside collection or assembling Cookie packages- Please come into the commissary to the Deli area so you can sign in and we can show you around.   Everyone assembling cookie packages should bring a hat to keep to hair out of the cookies (it’s that or a hair net).  After you get a quick tour, wash your hands and start working.  We’ll have hot coffee and all the cookie crumbs you can eat.

 

Curbside Cookie Greeters Volunteers- Cheerful people with warm coats are needed to be at the curb from a little before 7:30 until 9:30am to collect the cookies and to thank our bakers and then bring the cookies in to be put in packages.  Santa will be there as well to help out! 

Cookie Packaging Volunteers- We will package the cookies in the commissary Deli area.  The packaging assembly line will start at 8 am and we’ll work until packaging is complete.  Packing time will depend on how many volunteers can come but I think it will take about 2 hours.  A dozen cookies will be placed on a Styrofoam tray, and a handmade card put on the bottom of the tray.  It will be sealed behind the Deli counter in plastic wrap (like the deli sandwiches).  We’ll place a sticker with a greeting on top of all the packages and the cookie packages will be given to our Airmen living in the dorms later that day by the First Sergeants.

   

More Details- This is a community effort and all active duty, dependents and our friends in the community with base access are welcome to help and join in on the fun.  Children can help bake, but only children over 16 years of age should be present for packaging.

 

Need more information? Send me an email at 366Cookie@gmail.com .

 

THANK YOU!

PS- Please invite your friends to join us.  We would love all the help we can get.

Thanksgiving week

I’d like to express a few thoughts as we start this Thanksgiving week .

If you are leaving the area, look at the weather forecast for the areas you will be traveling. Let someone know where you will be going and what your route is, make sure your cell phone is charged. If you are going by car, make sure that it is in good working order for the trip.

Understand your limitations and the fact that the holiday pace may drain you more than you think. Don't leave out for your 8 hour car trip after working a full day. Don't tell yourself you will be fine to "drive straight through" so you can spend some extra time at your destination or get back at a certain time.

Take a little time to reach out to family, an old friend, a coworker to see how they are doing. Sometimes just hearing from you can make all the difference in the world.

Remember we are not all home, we are not all with our families. We all have friends that are deployed, on a remote assignment or separated from their family and in harm's way because of their service. When you sit down for your holiday meal, take a moment to remember them. Reach out to their family and let them know that we are a community, an Air Force family, which looks after each other (this can't be just words).  If you know of someone that needs a place to go for Thanksgiving let me know, we ALWAYS have room at the Corby house.

Lastly, please don't drink and drive. Call me at 210-319-8833. I will come and get you or find a way to get you home safely- PERIOD!

 

Find something to be thankful for.  Take the time to enjoy your family, friends and your selves. Be safe!
