The FRG is all about CONNECTING - connecting with other Nimitz families and discovering that while our Sailors are ON the same boat, we are all IN the same boat! Some family members love to volunteer, others like to attend; some like to craft, others to read; some have children, others don’t or they are all grown up; some attend school, others have advance degrees; some stay at home (choose domestic pursuits), others have outside careers - although we are all different, we all have one thing in common: WE ARE THE FAMILIES OF THE USS NIMITZ!
. The child of a military member on active duty or mobilized Guard or Reserve. . The child of a military member who died while on active duty or mobilized Guard or Reserve. . Enrolled in grades six through nine.
Have Children? That’s what “Family” is all about! Bring them along; many times the children make “life-long” friends as well! Don’t have children? That’s great, too! Please come help encourage “grown-up” discussions for those who have been limited to conversations with the “under 5” crowd.
If child attendance is discouraged during any formal event or meeting, The FRG Executive board makes the effort to locate group childcare.
Applications are available online at www.militarychild.org/childstudent/space-camp-scholarship/. Deadline for submission of applications is 10 March 2012. Visit the website for more details.
