ing) services will be relocating from buildings P-36 & T-2228 to
building 10250 on Fourth Armored Division Dr. All services will

0730-1600 Monday - Friday except holidays.
We apologize for any inconvenience this presents. The move to

hensive care to the Fort Drum community.
Bldg 10250 is located on Fourth Armored Division Dr. between Euphrates River Valley Rd.
and Tigris River Valley Rd. All points of contact and phone numbers will remain the same.
Habitat for Humanity needs your help!!! Habitat For Humanity is having a fundraiser this coming week (beginning Saturday 3/31/12)
and they are having a hard time finding volunteers. They typically target high school stu-
dents/youth to help out only because it is an easy fundraiser for them to help with, but ac-
companied by an adult. Youth is not necessary .. adult volunteers are also welcome. It is a
stick house fundraiser held at the Salmon Run Mall. We have 3 hour shifts each day for a
week, 2 to 3 people per shift needed. We sell popsicle sticks for $1 and they are hot glued to
a 5' house frame and the goal is to completely cover the house frame and raise money for
Habitat to build a "real" home here in our community. If you are interested in helping out,
please contact Pam Rajner 486-7321.
