Lt Col Kelli Moon

The holidays are here, ya'll! This is a time of year that we gather with family and friends, count the blessings in our lives, and share gifts with others. As Airmen, we dedicate much of our time and talent to serving our nation. The 48FSS is thankful and honored to serve with each of you. Recognizing the good in our lives and giving thanks is not always easy during the most challenging times. Many Airmen will continue to serve during the holidays and some will be geographically separated from family and friends for the first time. This is a time when supporting one another is most critical. Whatever personal or professional challenges you may be facing right now, know that you have a squadron of people standing by to support you either through personal or financial counseling to offering some spectacular ways to get out and socialize with one another, like our upcoming Fire & Ice Extravaganza. Together we can ensure that all of our Airmen have a safe a joyful holiday. Your 48FSS team wishes you and your family a very Happy Holidays!

Junior's Golf Clinic Saturdays & Sundays Noon-1pm • $5 per lesson Support your child’s excitement for golf. Let golf pro, Dean Fairweather, help your child build up to a 9-hole round of golf in just five lessons. Pre-registration is required, simply call the ProShop to sign up.

T I P S

GOLF FOR THE

SHORT-GAME CREATIVITY MENTAL

The mental part of the game is often disregarded, and fortunately, it’s very common to have many different thoughts going through your mind before you play the shot. These thoughts often include, I hope I don’t shoot bad a shot here, my friends are watching me or if I make a par on this last hole, I will shoot my best score ever. If any of these thoughts apply to you, it’s likely that you are playing golf based on the outcome of a particular shot. I encourage you to concentrate on trying to adopt an exceptional process driven pre-shot routine that will allow you to control your thoughts before playing each shot. To achieve this, I recommend that you create a mental game scorecard to write down three or four process goals.

For example, my scorecard always includes the following: • Take three deep breaths. • Select a target in the distance and see the desired ball flight. • Stand over the golf ball like a quiet mind. Every time I successfully complete my mental game scorecard, I give myself a tick next to the completed goals and an "X" next to the ones I haven’t completed. No matter how many years go by, I continue to use my mental scorecard as it has really has helped me improve my mental focus for the game, and for that I’m less concerned with the actual score or outcome of any shot.

Starting t he New Year Right

WITH PERSONAL FINANCIAL COUNSELOR JACOB STEWART

Workshop will cover: • Thrift Savings Plan • How to enroll • Investment options

Budgeting Paying bills on time and having very little left over for the month in your account is a common misconception of proper budgeting. This concept will have your hard earning dollars not being used to their full potential. People who are financially successful share a common characteristic of tracking their expenses and creating budgets. Jacob will assist in creating budgets by determining a financial goal, assessing the current financial status and offer guidance and advice to achieving financial success.

Bundles for Babies Friday, December 7 • 9am-12:30pm Expecting a new baby? We bring the experts to you to provide information on budgeting for baby, passport, WIC-overseas, and more. Participants receive a $50 BX gift card to purchase necessary baby items.

Highly encouraged for those shipping pets and/or vehicle. *Mandatory for E-4 and below.

Savings Generally, most don’t save enough to fund their long-term goals such as retirement and short-term goals such as a car purchase. Jacob is a great resource and can help determine an exact amount that needs to be saved to a specific goal. Jacob can also educate different investment options that are personally suitable and preventing a loss of value amount in your savings from unpredictable inflation rates. Mr. Stewart is available for financial counseling. Call the A&FRC for your free appointment today!

TODDLER STORY TIME Every Thursday • 10:15 am • Free Toddlers and preschoolers are welcome to join us every Thursday at 10:15 AM for story time. We’ll have stories, songs and rhymes. Each week will feature a special theme, including bears, zoo animals, winter and more!

TOP THREE REASONS TO LEARN A NEW LANGUAGE

INTELLIGENCE

Learning a new language helps your memory and boosts your attention span. It also helps you develop multitasking skills as you learn to jump from one language to another.

This special story time is designed for school aged children, ages 5-9. Stories are longer than our weekly toddler story time. Children will hear books read aloud and create a simple art project.

KIDS' CRAFT NIGHT

Wednesday, December 12 • 4-5pm • Free Come celebrate the season with your imagination! We’ll be making a variety of winter themed arts and crafts. All ages are welcome.
