U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern hosts a community information fair Wednesday at Vogelweh’s Armstrong’s Club, where the USO will give away a free trip.
U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern will host a community information fair and town hall Wednesday at Vogelweh’s Armstrong’s Club.
The town hall portion begins at 10 a.m., the information fair runs from 10 a.m. to noon. The USO will give away five $50 vouchers, good toward the booking of any USO day trip.
Representatives from the garrison, the 21st Theater Sustainment Command, 569th U.S. Forces Police Squadron, Family Advocacy Outreach and others will speak to community members and answer questions in person and on the garrison’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/army.kaisers-lautern.
All services and civilians are invited to attend both the town hall and information fair. Organizers hope that both events will help attract some of the newest members of the Kaiserslautern Military Community.
“We’ve got a lot of in transit Heidelberg and Mannheim people coming this way,” said Jasmine (Jazz) Byrne, event organizer and plans specialist for the garrison’s Plans, Analysis and Integration Office.
Byrne explained that while many Army garrisons have very similar programs and operating procedures, some communities may still have different regulations, paperwork requirements and locations.
“That’s another good thing about this information fair. You can grab not only telephone books, but maps and points of contact that can help you locate where some of these agencies are,” she added.
“There’s information from registering your car to bus schedules, we have ID cards and passports that will have information there. ACS welcome packs, training, language classes,” Byrne said. “Come find out what’s available out there.”
Currently more than 20 agencies and private organizations like The Exchange, the Defense Commissary Agency, Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts of America, International Women’s Club, Army Community Service and others, have signed up to participate in the fair.
“We don’t choose which agencies will attend. We have a listing of different organizations that we send a mass email invite to. If they reply, they can get a table,” said Gina Hranilovic, event organizer and management analyst for the garrison’s PAIO.
There is still room and any agencies or private organizations that are interested can call 493-4176/4024 for details.
