Fort Campbell, KY – The registration deadline for the USAA Military Spouse Appreciation Week, which runs May 7th to 11th, 2012, has been extended through midnight May 3rd, 2012.
Military Spouses are an invaluable asset to the Army. They support their Soldiers though mission, deployment, reintegration and reset, and keep the home fires burning. The Army recognizes the support and sacrifices made with Military Spouse Appreciation Day May 7th, 2012.
Events kick off May 7th with the Military Spouse Workshop Day at 8:15am in the Family Resource Center (FRC). The Workshop Day is full of activities that will uplift, enlighten and motivate Spouses.

Throughout the day, Spouses can participate in four different seminars. Seminar topics range from basic auto care, Federal job opportunities using USA Staffing, Americana crafts, to much more.
Registration is required prior to the event and some seminars will have additional fees. Childcare and lunch will be provided.
