Sojourner’s Permits Required for Holiday Travel Reminder from RLSO: check your sojourner permit to ensure that it is still valid for holiday travel. If not, come to Region Legal Service Office, Legal Assistance Department, at Capodichino on the 1st floor of Admin II. Legal Assistance must be notified at least one full week prior to anticipated travel in order to facilitate the process of providing you with a sojourner permit or a receipt that will allow your re-entry into Italy. Please contact Legal Assistance with any questions at 081-568-4576. Holiday Greetings on SiriusXM Joint Hometown News Service (JHNS) has partnered with SiriusXM radio to allow military men and women anywhere in the world to send Holiday Greetings to their loved ones back home. Service members can call a toll-free number, 888-776-2790, or DSN 312-733-4660 and leave a message for airing on SiriusXM. All that's needed is rank, full name, hometown, where you are stationed, and a quick greeting. The greetings will be aired on SiriusXM's Holiday Traditions channel now through Jan. 1, 2014. Commissary Holiday Hours The commissary will be open Dec. 24 from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m., closed Dec. 25, and 26, open Dec. 31 from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m., and closed Jan 1, 2014. Positive Balances on School Lunch Accounts Required To ensure your child receives a nutritious school lunch, sponsors should keep a positive balance in their child’s account at all times. Student accounts with a negative balance severely affect the ability of the School Meal Program to be self-sustaining. The NEX, your food service provider, does not have the financial resources to provide student meals without reimbursement. Payments are accepted at NEX Customer Service. You can also set up a free account at www.mypaymentsplus.com to keep track of your child’s account balance and set up low balance alerts. For a small fee, you can add money to your child’s balance from your home or office computer, tablet, smart phone, or other mobile device. Reminder: No Pets Allowed on School Grounds Community members are asked to refrain from walking dogs while dropping off or picking up children from school. The Pet Policy for NSA Naples includes three areas on Support Site where pets are unauthorized: TLA, the Commissary/NEX shopping center, and the school facilities. A link to the Pet Policy can be found at www.cnic.navy.mil/Naples. 2013 Military Mail Holiday Mailing Dates The following are recommended mail-by dates for best chance delivery prior to Dec. 25.
