IDS Meeting Highlights

5 January 2012 @ 0800 hours

1.      Comprehensive Airmen Fitness (CAF) funds may or may not be available for 2012 but the IDS needs to be ready should money become available.  If you have any ideas for projects the CAF funds might support please contact Ch Glass.

2.      The CDC currently has hourly childcare available.  Applicants must follow the guidelines children in full time care follow (shot records and other paperwork on file).  There are also full time slots available at both the CDC and home care providers.

3.      The EFMP kickoff for 2012 will be held at the Balfour Beatty Community Center on 13 January from 5PM to 8PM.

4.      Parent Advocates for Students & Schools (PASS) is holding an organizational meeting on 18 January.  You may attend either the 12 noon or 5:30 PM meeting.  The meetings will take place at the Balfour Beatty Community Center.

5.      A sensory friendly showing of the movie Happy Feet 2 will be offered at the base theater on 28 January at 2PM.  Sensory friendly showings leave the lights in the theater up, the volume is lower and there are no trailers or previews for the kids to sit through.  it's OK for kids to move and walk around also.   Hopefully an exemption for children with special dietary needs will be made so that snacks can be brought from home for this showing.

6.      The new gym is set to open on 5 March.  The HAWC and both (old and new) gyms will be closed 27 February through 4 March for the move to the new building.  Fitness testing will begin in the new space on 21 February.   An official grand opening will be announced later.  The likely date will be sometime in mid March.
