Post Office Volunteers Needed!

*** Sent on behalf of 51/CS ***

Team Osan,



The holiday season is the Osan post office's busiest time of year and the

volume of mail increases by at least 300 percent. New mail has started to

pour in and the Post Office needs your help to clear it out just as quickly.

Please remember to check your PO box frequently and pick up your packages as

soon as you can. Also, holiday volunteers are always needed in order to

process and deliver the mail as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Individual or group volunteers are welcomed, but all volunteers must contact

the post office for scheduling.

Osan Trick or Treat Bash

Good Afternoon,




I am organizing the Osan Trick or Treat Bash. The event will take place

on 28 October 2010 at Buildings 916, 936, 937, and 938. The event will

start at 1530 and end at 1730. If you are not familiar with this event,

let me explain a little about it.



The event is an opportunity for families to bring their children by the

buildings mentioned above and have a fun, safe afternoon walking

together and getting candy. We had 165 children last year and expect a

bit larger crowd this year since it was such a hit last year.



There is four ways to get involved:



1. If you would like to hand out candy, email me at

mark.reuss@osan.af.mil. Provide me your office number and location. I

will be starting the registration process soon and will let you know how

many children to expect and how much candy to purchase.



2. If you want to decorate your office and compete for a $75.00 grand

prize, let me know as well. Judging will take place on 28 Oct, at 1000

hrs. The one change from last year is there is only one prize-winner

take all. 51 CPTS won last year and we do have 7 AF eligible to compete

as well. Competition should be good.



3. If you have children and would like to bring them, you can go ahead

and email me. I will take down the information and provide you more

details as we get closer.



4. If you want to volunteer to help in escorting, set-up, tear down,

children costume contest, please let me know. This event requires a lot

of help and I think the volunteers had just as much fun as the children

did!
