Cookie Drive: Nellis Area Spouses’ Club is hosting this year’s Airmen Cookie Drive. Please help us provide 800 dozen cookies for the Airmen living in the dorms by bringing cookies to the Nellis AFB Chapel Parking Lot from 6 a.m. to noon, Dec. 13. Just drive up and a volunteer will meet you at your car. Every donation helps. The airmen living in the dorms are away from family and often have to work during the holidays. By providing them a small homemade (or store-bought) treat we can show that we care and support them. We also need volunteers to help with set up, clean up, collecting donations, and packaging cookies for pick up on donation days. If you are interested in volunteering, email NellisASC@hotmail.com. There will be an additional drop off location 11 a.m.-2 p.m., Dec. 12 at the Centennial Hills YMCA.
