Ramstein readies for Pride Day, cleanup

Fall-CleanUpGreetings, Team Ramstein! It’s that time again. The weather is starting to cool down and the leaves are beginning to fall. Accordingly, the base and housing clean-ups are scheduled for Monday and Tuesday.

Monday will be “clean where you work” with the implementation of the 86th Airlift Wing Base Pride Program, and Tuesday will be an opportunity for housing residents to take some time to focus on cleaning around base housing. The following details provide instructions on how folks can come out and participate. It will be a great opportunity to improve the areas where we live, work and play.

Base Pride Day/Monday
In order to help designate specific areas of responsibilities, each group and tenant unit of the 86 AW has been provided an AOR map and Base Pride checklist. These maps have been distributed to unit leadership and will help guide everyone’s efforts Monday when folks gather to “clean where you work.”

Housing Clean-up/Tuesday
Beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, all housing residents will meet at one of the locations below (depending on where you live).

Each location will have a Facilities Excellence Team member present who will provide work assignments, equipment, and offer assistance. Residents are asked to bring work gloves, rakes, brooms and tools for removing grass and weeds from sidewalk cracks.

Family member participation is encouraged. This is an excellent opportunity to get to know your neighbors and give a helping hand in improving your housing and living areas.
