The Vict ry Chain Happy, SCFE President
Leadership Link Welcome to 2015! We made it through the holiday season and now we look forward to what the new year will bring. We have said “See you soon” to friends who PCS’d over the first part of our year, and now is the Gme to say “Nice to meet you and welcome to Fort EusGs” to those new faces around us. I encourage everyone to go that extra step and welcome your new neighbors to one of our remaining luncheons for this year. “Bloom Where You’re Planted” starts from within, and we go stronger roots as we connect with each other. We are looking forward to Polish PoOery Bingo this month, so come dressed in your lucky bingo gear. February will be a delight as we welcome Bibs Reynard, author of The Once Over Lightly book, who entertain us with some protocol pointers! We are gearing up for the Warrior Run in April and would like to invite all members to come out and parGcipate or volunteer the day of the event. Candice Cartwright, our race coordinator, has more specifics for those of you interested. This fundraiser raises a large porGon of our Scholarship and Community Grants monies, so it is truly a team effort to make the run a success. I look forward to seeing everyone soon, and don’t forget to plant your daisy seeds! Wishing you much happiness for this new year, Sincerely, Happy

Did you make a New Year’s ResoluTon?

I just did this! (link below) I have my word for 2015. My Word: COMMITMENT! I highly encourage each of you to make Gme and do it. You can take this word to create goals. I think having a word makes the goals more powerful, it may just be the missing link to why goals don't happen. INTENTION people, make 2015 your best! hOp://chrisGnekane.com/word/? inf_contact_key=950cbd6cb3f2bde1195bb7a286b120b8419f788 6710eb3ce0f214d736be404f4 Look forward to seeing everyone next week! Happy

The Vict ry Chain The Community Grants Committee of The Spouses’ Club of Fort Eustis is preparing for another rewarding year assisting organizations in the area as they help and support our Military Personnel and their family members. In the past years we have been able to assist Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, local libraries, school programs and PTAs, hospitals and rehabilitation centers. We are proud to contribute to the USO, American Red Cross, Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers (BOSS), and dozens of other wonderful organizations. All with the common goal of bettering the lives of those who sacrifice daily in so many ways. Our club generates funds through monthly Spouses’ luncheons, the SCFE Consignment Shop located on Fort Eustis, the November 20th Tree and Wreath Silent Auction, and the Warrior Run scheduled on April 18, 2015. We are fortunate to have the generous support of local businesses as we plan and coordinate these events.
