QUICK CLICKS: Customer Appreciation Fight Night at Legends Paddle Board Race & Demo Tim Meadows Comedy Show
SMILE! July is
Customer Appreciation Month
It is our pleasure to serve you. We truly value your patronage. And now, we want to say "Thank you!" That's why the 96th Force Support Squadron announces July 2018 as Customer Appreciation Month on Eglin AFB. When we think of things we appreciate, we think of our valued customers who always put a smile on our faces. It's our turn now with the "We Want To Make You Smile" Campaign, happening all across Eglin throughout the entire month of July. Every Eglin FSS activity is holding a designated Customer Appreciation Day to recognize their customers in special ways, including a variety of promotions awarding prizes to hundreds of our FSS customers! FSS will also activate a Prize Patrol to appear at locations across base throughout the month, to randomly offer base personnel the opportunity to be instant winners of FSS gift cards valued up to $150! Please see page 3 for more details.
