Holiday Bazaar!

The Organizer of the 26^th Annual Fort Hood Officers’ Wives’ Club
Holiday Bazaar
Thanks You!!

William Arthur Ward said it best: “Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.”

I would like to express my gratitude for everyone who joined together and created a Holiday Bazaar that was not only a huge financial success – over $30,0000 was raised –but was also a hugely successful family event. This was the 26^th year for this Fort Hood Officers’ Wives’ Club event, and we are already looking forward to our 27th year.

To our vendors and our volunteers........

Thank you to our 100-plus, wonderful vendors – they were a key to our success.

But the biggest part of our success lies in the hard work from the multitude of volunteers: Harker Heights High School Cheerleaders, Boy Scout Troop 222, the soldiers and families of the 3rd Signal Brigade, military retirees, members of the Enlisted Spouses Club, family and friends, our very valued members of the Fort Hood Officers' Wives Club and more. A special thank you to COL (P) Paul Wentz and Killeen Mayor Timothy Hancock for their inspiring words during the opening ceremony. And thank you to our Santa Claus, Buddy Southards.

To our Sponsors........

I would also like to recognize another major component to our successful event – our sponsors. These organizations hear and answer the call year after year:
