The newsletter provides updates on TF Wolfpack units, including welcoming new soldiers and families. It announces upcoming family events like an open forum with the Brigade Commander and a health awareness class. Karen Foshee, the FRSA, introduces a turkey chili recipe and recognizes volunteers. Company sections announce recent/upcoming gatherings and changes in leadership. The newsletter aims to connect families by sharing social media pages and contact information.
