Volunteering for the FRG

I recently agreed to be the co-leader for Richards Company/Battery (they are still deciding which we are) FRG (family readiness group), we are a brand new company,literally just starting up, so it has been a crazy few weeks, filled with classes, meetings, planing committees etc. it has been fun and now as we are getting more volunteers and planning some fun fund raising and family activities I am glad I agreed to take on the position. Maureen and I (the other leader) have had the opportunity to get to know the Company Captain and Lieutenants better, get a feel for their mission and hopefully some training that will allow us to help fellow family members prepair and survive the company's upcoming deployment a little easier.
When I first agreed to do this, I was a bit worried that I just would not have the time with work, school, kids and so on, but so far it has worked out well. I have always been such a huge supporter of our military/veterans, and have put together many fund raisers to help them, that this turned out to be perfect for me. I like this type of thing and I feel good attempting to do my part to support our nations heros.
