Join ACS and our community Public Affairs for an evening of fun on T h u r s d a y , 30 January, at the Gamsalm in Erhwald, Austria. The Gamsalm is located at the Wetterstein ski area and sits on the mountain next to the ski slope. After making an enjoyable walk to the Gamsalm, we will treat ourselves to a wonderfully prepared 3-course meal in traditional Tyrolian hutte style. The Alm is on the mountain thus the walk will be about 45 minutes on a gentle up-hill path along the ski slope. A good pair of boots or snowshoes is highly recommended. For those looking for a thrill following dinner, be sure to bring a sled !!! Snowshoes and sleds can be rented from the Outdoor Rec in bldg. 250.

We will meet after work at 5:30 and carpool the 30 minute ride to Erhwald. If you are interested in this really fun and exciting evening, contact ACS or Host Nations by 10 January.

Did you know that . . . .
Army Emergency Relief (AER) was incorporated as a private non-profit organization on February 5, 1942? The initial purpose of AER was to collect and hold funds to relieve distress of members of the U.S. Army and their dependents. This remains true today. AER assumed the Army Relief Society (ARS) mission of providing financial assistance to widows/widowers and orphans of deceased Regular Army personnel upon the merger of ARS with AER on 2 July 1976.
