Pelletier Director, Family and MWR USAG Rheinland-Pfalz MESSAGE FROM THE MANAGER Message from the Manager, Family and MWR Baumholder USAG Rheinland-Pfalz Welcome to Your New Home! The Baumholder military community is affectionately known as, ‘The Rock” throughout IMCOM-Europe with good reason; not only are we (literally) located on mountains of rock in the Rheinland-Pfalz state of Germany, we are a closeknit, rock-solid military community which embodies the Army values of Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity and Personal Courage from Command all the way to the folks serving the best pizza and hamburgers on post at our wonderful Strikers Bowling Center snack bar. In short, you have just become part of the “Best Kept Secret in IMCOM-E”, and we are thrilled to welcome you! Our goal is to be your first choice. Family & MWR operates 21 front door facilities, with an additional 14 ‘behind the scene’ programs and offices in Baumholder. From the largest paintball field in IMCOM-Europe at our Outdoor Recreation area, to the award-winning LIVE theater performance program at Hilltop Theater, Family & MWR’s mission is to bring you ‘a little piece of home’ during your overseas tour. To that end, we strive to deliver world class customer service and unique, innovative programming designed specifically for the Baumholder military community. This magazine has been designed to give you a brief overview of what Family & MWR in Baumholder has to offer during your overseas tour at this installation. Special Events, such as Baumholder Idol and Community Wide events like our Independence Day Celebration, are just a few of the myriad opportunities for you to get out, get moving, and make lasting memories here on “The Rock”.

Ingrid Osewalt Manager, Family and MWR Baumholder USAG Rheinland-Pfalz 3 Dear Reader: Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation (Family and MWR) invites corporate and individual businesses to support our community by taking part in the Corporate Sponsorship and Advertising Program. Family and MWR values brand loyalty and provides direct interaction with the Military market. To begin, Family and MWR is a network of support and leisure services designed to serve the needs, interests and responsibilities of each individual in the Army community, as well as enhance the quality of their lives. From family, child and youth programs to recreation, sports, entertainment, travel and leisure activities—Family and MWR employees worldwide strive to deliver the highest quality programs and services at each installation. Family and MWR helps ensure Army readiness by caring for the people who serve and stand 4 ready to defend the nation. The Baumholder community consists of approximately 2,250 Military personnel, Family members, Retirees, and Civilian employees. Family and MWR believe your participation in sponsorship can provide heightened visibility and positive publicity that will continuously promote and benefit your company for years to come. Sponsorship is an exchange of goods and/or services in return for public recognition, advertising and promotional benefits of an equivalent value. It is neither a gift nor a donation—it is a smart business decision that increases the visibility of the company’s products and/or services that can be a most effective marketing tool. Sponsorship also establishes a deeper association and integration between markets and can prove to be a valued part of your company’s marketing and advertising plan. The opportunity to support the events and/or programs provides measurable response within the military community. The sponsorship program offers your company an effective way to access a wide range of audiences while being able to gauge your customer’s response to your products/ services. The benefits are endless and it provides great means of broadening your competitive edge. Sponsorship acts as a faster growing form of advertisement and your company’s image, prestige and credibility can improve greatly. Whether you live within the military community or support those who do, your participation will be notable and recognizable; Family and MWR would appreciate your partnership to show those in the community that together we are here to support. It is our goal to give back to the military community and do all we can to enhance their lifestyle. Again, we would like to invite you and your business to participate in the sponsorship and advertising program. Please contact us to find out more about the benefits of corporate and individual sponsorship and/or advertising at 0631-3406-4049.
