EXTRA HELP NEEDED DURING THE HOLIDAYS!!!

PRIORITY PEOPLE - Please volunteer at the Ramstein Post Office Package Pickup Window.  Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays are the busiest days.  Whatever time you can give can make a difference.  ROSC volunteer nametags are available in the top drawer of the cabinet when you sign in.  First timer?  Please contact the Post Office Customer Service at 06371-476 166 or Postal.Service@ramstein.af.mil for your 10-minute training session.  It's easy and it's FUN!
 

Stocking for Soldiers ~ The USO is looking for donations of stocking stuffers from the community. We need things like phone cards, batteries, DVD’s, CD’s, small games, candy, toiletries, etc. The stockings will be handed out from Dec 15 – Dec 26 to service members headed downrange.  If you have not already contacted me and are interested in helping out, let me know.  Please help pass the word that we are in our final “push” for donations. I’d like to have all donations by December 10th. Donations can be dropped off at any KMC USO Center or at the Ramstein Service Credit Union.  Donations that are left over after all the stocking have been stuffed will be sent to troops that are already downrange. So NOTHING will go unused.
