From Chester Jones, Whiteman Air Force Base Community Council member from Clinton;
I sat down with our Sister Unit yesterday afternoon after the BCC meeting on Base. They have a few fun activities planned for the remainder of the year. I would like to share this info with the Chamber and see if anyone would like to volunteer with one of these events or donate items for any of these events. Most of these events are off base so access will not be an issue.
Would like to thank Oakstar Bank ,Compass Health and the VFW Post 1894 and the Auxiliary for their donations to last month’s little picnic.
WAFB also has Airmen that would like to get off base and help volunteer their time to help our Chamber members. If you might have a need for some young, energetic airmen, they would love to volunteer for a few hours.
If you would like to donate your time to one of these events, give a monetary donation, or maybe a door prize for the Bingo Night or the Christmas Party, please let me know.
Thanks again for helping the Airmen and their families.
Chester Jones
Your BCC member for Clinton
