Message from the President Hello Members!
Wow! April was a very busy month for RESA. In April, RESA had the oppor-tunity to volunteer at the Quarterly Airman’s Birthday Dinner at the Rhein-land Inn Dining Facility on Ramstein. The turnout was fantastic with more than 50 Airmen served! All the attendees really enjoyed the dinner, had the opportunity to play some entertaining games and walked away with birthday gift cards to shop at the BX. We look forward to providing volunteers for the quarterly dinner again in July!
At the end of the month, RESA had 16 members attend the American’s Work-ing Around the Globe (AWAG) Annual Seminar in Garmisch, Germany. We all had a fantastic time and came back with a wealth of knowledge that we are so excited to pass on to RESA! If you have the desire to be in a leadership position with RESA in the future, or any organization for that matter, or even just to better your own personal resume, I highly suggest you attend AWAG’s local regional seminar in the fall and the next annual seminar next spring.
May will be another busy, yet exciting, month for RESA. We get to start off the month with a wonderful Volunteer Appreciation Trip to Dusseldorf, Ger-many. I don’t know about you, but I am very excited for this trip! We will also be presenting the KMC Scholarship recipients with their scholarships at the awards banquet, along with our sister organizations ROSC and KLSA. And
at the end of the month, we get to host the Deployment Buddies picnic for all of the students that have gone through the Deploy-ment Buddies program at Ramstein Elementary School this year. We also have our monthly Meet and Greet and Lunch Bunch tak-ing place that all of our members are invited to attend! Check out the calendar for more details on each of the upcoming events.
Our May Wine Tasting Social will also be a Membership Drive, which I am very excited for! Don’t forget to bring your friends who may be interested in joining this fabulous organization! There will be some awesome prizes for members who bring guests as well as guests who sign up as members. And of course, there will be some delicious wine to taste! I look forward to meeting all of your guests who, hopefully, will become our newest RESA members!
We will also be saying good-bye to one of our wonderful advisors, Paula Redden as she will be leaving Ramstein in the coming month or two. I’d like to thank her for everything she has done for this organization and all the advice and support she has more than willingly passed our direction. She has been a huge asset to RESA and the Board, and we will miss her greatly!
As I sit here writing my last letter to you all as President, I can’t help but look back on the incredible adventure this experience has been! Over the past three years, I have seen RESA continue to give back and remain a vital piece of the KMC, making a difference in this community far beyond what I could ever imagine! Thank you so much for entrusting me to grow in this organization!
In serving as your President, I have been honored and humbled to be able to see firsthand just how much of a difference RESA makes in our local community. Every single person that I have ever met with in regards to RESA business has always had something positive to say about our incredible organization and all the wonderful things we do. This is a direct reflection of YOU, our members, and the relentless effort you all give to make RESA the best it can be and to always keep our community at the forefront of our efforts. I seriously cannot thank you enough for everything you have given to drive this organization forward. As with everything in life, there have been ups and downs, but regardless, RESA has always stood strong on our morals and mission, continuing to make a difference.
I hope you all have a wonderful month! I look forward to seeing you at some of our upcoming events!
Sincerely,
Emma
