Well, here we are, about a month out from the 368th Military Intelligence Battalion Christmas Party and Send-Off event. I wanted to put this update on here, just to update everyone. The event will be held on December 13, 2014.
More details on the event, we are expecting between 300 and 350 soldiers and family members this year, the Nor Cal Brethren were legend from last year and many folks wanted to join in. This event is not only the Christmas party but the send-off/welcome home event for many of these soldiers. Much like last year, we will be serving tri-tip, chicken, mac-n-cheese, salad, beans and dessert. I expect that there will be hot dogs for the kids again as well. This was the note from the staff sergeant...
Last year you sent us the greatest team ever. They really made our Welcome Home and Send Off Event a hit.
We can offer whatever support you need.
We have nearly 100 troops deployed at that time and many more leaving. Thisevents is designed to support our current troops here at Camp Parks and thedeployed Soldiers and their families. From your teams efforts last year, wehave been able to establish a support chain for our deployed Soldier'sfamilies that we did not have before.
It really is a great time and the best way to Brethren Bash. So far, I have a commitment from 6 Brethren and supporters to help us on the cook day, I sure could use a few more folks who are interested in taking part in this event. Last year, it was a good chance to get together for the Brethren, sort of a Bash for a Cause. Come on out, your company and help will be more than welcome. Ideally, we would be more around 12 to 15 folks cooking and serving these soldiers. If you are a Nor Cal Brethren and want to have a Bash, or from farther away, your company is more than welcome. We get on base around 8am, Dave Bart (BBQ_PD) and Tim Dougherty (Groundhog66) will have much of the pork and mac-n-cheese cooked, but, there is still a lot to do. We cook and serve at noon, then hang around and chat with folks until early afternoon when everyone takes off. It's a great day.
If you would like to support our event, we would more than welcome that as well. I have run this by The Management here, and both Marty Leach and I can accept donations through PayPal or if you prefer, by check (or cash, heck I ain't picky). We are about $1500 short for the event at this point and sure could use some help. Please feel free to reach out to either of us, I am sort of the defacto speaker, Marty keeps me focused and manages the money.
I am really hoping to meet some new Brethren and see some old faces as well. Thanks for reading all this.
