Military Saves month: Military Saves encourages the entire military community to take the Military Saves pledge and for organizations to promote savings year-round, and especially during Military Saves Month in April. Military Saves also works with government agencies, defense credit unions, military banks, and other non-profit organizations to promote savings and debt reduction. Each week in April Military Saves features highlighted programs. (Apr. 20-25 is Save with a Plan and the final week, Apr. 27-30 is Save by Paying Down Debt.) Head over to militarysaves.org for more information.


Family and MWR virtual events: Stay connected, inspired, and engaged with us even during this time of isolation. Every morning at 7 a.m. check-in with our Facebook pages (https://www.facebook.com/RheinlandPfalzFMWR or https://www.facebook.com/BaumholderFMWR) to see the schedule for the day. Expect workouts, recipes for breakfasts, lunches, snacks, and dinner, as well as child activities, fun polls, hobby ideas, ACS Community Support, and any updates to the current situation. Our Instagram page, rheinlandpfalzmwr, is also mirroring our Facebook so if Instagram is more your thing, you won’t miss out over there! Don’t see something you want to see? Submit your ideas and requests for anything you want us to highlight in future programming. We are here for you! For more information, go to kaiserslautern.armymwr.com or baumholder.armymwr.com.
