Cover Design Contest for ‘Benvenuti a Napoli 2015’ Community members of all ages are invited to take part in a contest to design this year's front cover of Benvenuti a Napoli – A Newcomer’s Guide to Naples. NSA Naples Public Affairs and Stampa Generale, publishers of the welcome-aboard book and Panorama base newspaper, are organizing the contest to get a design from our own military community. There will be 3,000 copies printed, as well as an online version located at www.cnic.navy.mil/naples. The book is sent in welcome-aboard packages and is oftentimes the first glimpse into life stationed in Naples. Credit for the cover design will be given on page 2 of the book. Photography, drawings, illustrations and any other artistic medium can be used to represent Naples and the Campania Region for arriving personnel and their families. Submissions can be any file type, but must be printable at a minimum of 5”x7” at 300DPI (Dots Per Inch). Entries will be accepted through emails to pao_naples@eu.navy.mil until midnight March 13. Please call DSN 626-5912 or 081568-5912 for additional information. Ombudsmen and Spouse Focus Groups for Naval IG Area Visit Spouse and Ombudsmen focus groups will be held Tuesday, Feb. 24 through Thursday, Feb. 26. Specific time and location information is forthcoming. The sessions will allow for a better understanding of how our area services and cross-cutting Navy topics affect quality of life. Positive and negative feedback is solicited to find out which topics have the greatest impact on quality of life. The maximum number of participants per session will be 16- 20. The groups should not include spouses of members in leadership positions, e.g., CO, XO, CMC, as a separate meeting would be considered with these spouses, individually, by request. If you are interested, please contact your command Ombudsman. For tentative dates for focus groups, ask your Ombudsman or visit www.facebook.com/NaplesFFSC.
