AFSA Gift Wrapping Fundraiser 2011

December 19th, 2011 by webmaster

Each year your AFSA Chapter 985 conducts a gift wrapping fundraiser to generate funds for chapter activities such as the Annual and Quarterly Awards banquets, Airman Leadership School John Levitow Awards, assistance with Team Tinker professional organizations events (SNCO and CMSgt Recognition Ceremonies, Annual Thanksgiving Basket drive, etc.), National and Local Disaster Relief Efforts, our Education Grant Program, and many more worthy programs.

We are manning tables set up outside the entrance of the Tinker Exchange where we will provide gift wrapping services for donations.  This is our primary fundraiser for the year and our biggest source of income.  We only have a few more days to help with this effort, so contact President Terry Turner as soon as possible to sign up.  Each time slot is 3 hours and in most cases you will be paired with at least two other volunteers.  All wrapping supplies will be provided and all volunteers must be in civilian clothes (no PT gear).

Please volunteer for one, or many, time slots… we could really use the help!  We started wrapping on 29 November and will continue through 24 December, from 0900-2100 daily.

The benefits of this very successful fundraiser:

  • High visibility for the AFSA Chapter 985, your squadron, and you.  Funds raised support Team Tinker and local community projects.
  • You get a good “Community Involvement” bullet for your EPR or awards package!
  • It’s easy, relatively clean, and inside!
  • It’s more fun than actual work!
  • Another chance to listen to your Christmas music, bring it along and make the atmosphere more festive!

To volunteer for a shift please take a look at the list of available volunteer shifts.  Pick a shift you would like to work and contact President Terry Turner .

We look forward to seeing you out there!  Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
