Seasons Greetings STC Family!
As we approach the holiday season, my thoughts turn to family functions and celebrations. It got me to thinking about our FRG and misconceptions about it. As most of you know FRG's are established to provide activities and support to enhance the flow of information, increase the resiliency of unit soldiers and their families, provide practical tools for adjusting to
military deployments and separations, and enhance the well-being and esprit de corps within the unit. The activities emphasized will vary depending on whether the unit is in pre/post deployment, deployed, or in a training/sustainment period at home station. Since one of the goals of an FRG is to support the military mission through provision of support, outreach, and information to family members, certain FRG activities are essential and common to all groups, and include member meetings, staff and committee meetings, publication and distribution of newsletters, maintenance of virtual FRG websites, maintenance of updated rosters and readiness information, and member telephone trees and e-mail distribution lists. That being said our FRG's primary function is to enhance the well-being and esprit de corps of the STC. We focus on social events and making those events affordable and enjoyable for all. While we occasionally have a Soldier in our unit deploy, we will not deploy as an organization. If you have experience with an FRG in a deployable unit, I ask that you give the STC FRG a try and see the difference in what "regular" units do and what we do. I look forward to seeing you at the Holiday Celebration on 11 January.

 Soup and Goodie Donations Needed!
The next STC FRG Fundraiser will be January 18th at the Camp Dodge S-1 building. Soup is on the menu for serving that day. Donations of "thicker" soups (like chili & stew) and baked goodies would be appreciated. Soup should be in a crock-pot or similar warming container and all baked goods and treats should be bagged and ready for sale. If you are able and willing to help for a shift that day, volunteers are appreciated! Contact Wendy for more details.
