Carolina Helping Heroes is a great resource for Families to get the little things or even the big things done around the house. Community groups register, indicate who they are and what help they can offer to Military Families in need. Military Families then search the site for community groups near their home that can help with whatever tasks they need.

An easy process with clear-cut volunteer tasks will support our Troops and their Families, strengthen our communities and help our neighbors in need. Carolina Helping Heroes was inspired by the Minnesota Military Family Care Initiative created by Minnesota First Lady Mary Pawlenty.

First Gentleman Eaves said, ―I can think of no better way to show how much we value our men and women in uniform than through these simple acts of neighborly kindness. When a Soldier serves, their whole Family serves along with them. Join us, as we help care for these Families, while honoring the Service they provide to our nation.‖ To find some help in your area visit, Carolina Helping Heroes, at www.carolinahelpingher oes.nc.gov.

Announcement

Please inform Pam Hughes, State FRG Advisor, of your upcoming FRG events, Family Days, and/or any activities that you have scheduled with your Unit.

We need this information now to appropriately schedule Family Programs Staff, Life Consultants, etc. in order to provide the best support of all our FRGs and Units across the State.

If you are planning an event but have not locked in a date, please make us aware of your tentative plans.

This month I would like to spotlight our FRG leader from the 732 nd FSC in Reidsville. She is Leigh Ann Murray and she has been the FRG Leader there for the past three years. During this time she has spent countless hours on building the FRG program for the Soldiers and their Families. Leigh Ann is always promoting all resources available and assisting in finding new ones as the need arises. She has hosted many events to include: Back to School events, Fall gatherings, pamper days for the Family Members, etc. She has always had a personable touch with the Families and Soldiers of the unit.

Here’s what 1SG Richard Chapman had to say about Leigh Ann, “It has been a pleasure to have Mrs. Leigh Ann Murray as the 732nd FRG Leader. She is extremely professional and serves the Soldiers and their Families selflessly. She communicates effectively with the Command, Soldiers and their Family Members. She has organized and conducted numerous events to include partnering with the volunteer group AmeriCorps to ship care packages to deployed Soldiers from their unit. Leigh Ann works tirelessly to support the Soldiers and Families with innovative ideas to foster a positive environment. There are many things that Leigh Ann does for the unit that go unnoticed, but what is noticed by the Families and Soldiers of the 732 nd is her dedication and devotion to her position.”

I know personally that not only does Leigh Ann devote her time and efforts to us, but she also volunteers tirelessly with her children’s Caleb, 10, and Alex, 8, schools and the local Special Olympics Chapter. This is very dear to her heart because her oldest child Caleb is Autistic.

Leigh Ann and her husband Don do not let Caleb’s additional needs hold the Family back from taking advantage of normal daily living. As you can tell, she is a very busy Wife, Mother and Volunteer. Several years back, Leigh Ann was diagnosed with Cervical Cancer and went thru treatment. This past year, she received the news that the cancer had returned. She now drives 150 miles round trip for her daily Radiation & Chemo treatments. She refuses to let anyone drive her for treatment or baby her during this process.

I have chosen to spotlight Leigh Ann just to remind us all that there are still everyday people out there doing exceptional things to support others! Leigh Ann is just one of many of you that are dedicated Volunteers that go Above & Beyond the expectations of your positions. Please join me in saying “Thank You” to Leigh Ann and all other Volunteers you know that mean so much to all of us.

Movie Theaters offer Military Discounts with a Valid Military ID Cool Off this Summer During a Matinee or Evening Movie Here are our TOP Picks for what to see in July

The Karate Kid Starring: Jaden Smith, Jackie Chan, Taraji P. Henson Director: Harald Zwart Release Date: 11th June 2010

The plot has been switched around quite a bit for this remake. Now work pressures cause a single mother to move to China with her young son, where he embraces karate, taught to him by a master of the self-defense form. The new Karate Kid is a lot younger (11 years old vs.

23 years old).

Little Fockers Release Date: 30th July 2010 Starring: Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, Blythe Danner, Teri Polo, Owen Wilson Director: Paul Weitz

Gaylord Focker is now struggling to raise five-year old twins with his wife, the daughter of a retired CIA agent.

The screenwriter says it’ll also deal with “themes of death and divorce and all these real things that as we get older, we start to think about, but in a really comical way.” Harvey Keitel and Jessica Alba join the cast.

Toy Story 3 Starring: Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Michael Keaton, Whoopi Goldberg, Timothy Dalton Director: Lee Unkrich Release Date: 18th June 2010

It’s been 14 years since the first Toy Story and 10 years since Toy Story 2. This time Woody, Buzz, and the rest of the toybox collection are dumped in a day-care center after their owner, Andy, departs for college. Can they survive the playful but careless pre-school children?

Inception Release Date: 16th July 2010 Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ken Watanabe, Marion Cotillard Director: Christopher Nolan

Inception is a mystery story set within the architecture of the mind. In other words imagine being able to physically enter the world of someone’s brain and steal confidential information that exists only in their memory. Or something like that.

Please meet the specialists at the Raleigh Military Family Resource Center who stand ready to assist you.

Born and raised here in the great state of North Carolina, I am blessed with three wonderful children, all grown and living on their own. One in Maine, one in Mississippi and one here in the eastern part of the state.

After working on the Outer Banks of NC for 8 years in property management, I decided to return back home to the Triangle area. Soon after I did I received a call asking if I would be interested in working with the Raleigh Funeral Honors team as a civilian bugler. This to me was one of the greatest honors that I could give to the Families of those which had served in the Military and I could finally share my God –given talent in a way that made a difference! During this time I became familiar with Family Programs and realized how much of an impact the opportunity to work with this team could make! I then began as a FAC specialist in the Asheville MFRC and fell in love with both the Families of the units I was personally involved with as well as the FP staff in that region. During this time the opportunity to move back to my home town became available once again and I chose to return to the Raleigh area to be closer to my Family and to join the team here at the Raleigh MFRC and again I am working with a team that genuinely cares and strives to make a difference in the lives of our Military Families!

Mark Woolbright FAC Network Coordinator My name is Lisa Faison. Recently, I accepted a Family Assistance Specialist position with the NCNG Family Programs Raleigh MFRC. Although I am new to this position, I am not new to the NC National Guard. For 4 years, I have been actively supporting the organization and its members in various positions. I am excited about having the chance to grow with a program that is expanding their efforts and ties with our Military Families. As a new member of the team, I am dedicated to the program, the Soldiers of the NC National Guard and their Families. Our Resource Centers are finding ways to support each and every Soldier and Family. It is wonderful to be a part of this meaningful program, its expansion and continual growth.

Hi, my name is Earlene Capps. I am married to Donnie Capps and have 3 daughters, Holly, Kelsey, and Sydney who passed away in 1995 at the age of 2 years old. I taught kindergarten in Goldsboro for 9 years and I am a member of Center Stage. I won 2 awards playing the role of Ma Bailey in “It’s A Wonderful Life”, but am most famous for my role in “The Dixie Swim Club.”

Earlene Capps FAC Specialist

I started working with Family Programs in January as an Administrative Assistant at the NCNG Military Family Resource Center in Raleigh. It is wonderful to finally work with people who are as patriotic as I am. I just became a FAC Specialist this June. I am looking forward to what this job entails and how I can make a difference and contribution to everyone I come in contact with.
