Booster Club Opportunity

Community groups can raise funds for their worthy causes while spreading some holiday cheer as the LRAFB Exchange is actively soliciting partners for the Army & Air Force Exchange Service’s annual community gift wrap program. “To make the holidays a little easier, we partner with local groups to ensure gifts purchased at the Exchange are wrapped up before they even leave the store,” said general manager Al Fuentes. “Beyond offering a one-stop solution for busy military shoppers, this effort also helps raise money for local military support initiatives.” During peak holiday seasons, the LRAFB Exchange sets up tables and provides supplies that community volunteer groups can use to wrap gifts in exchange for donations. Interested organizations can contact the Base Exchange at 501-988-1180 for information on scheduling a time to participate.

“Your Holiday Bill is on us” 

The Army & Air Force Exchange Service is making holiday wishes come true for military shoppers by picking up the tab on their Military Star card up to $8,200 with the “Your Holiday Bill Is On Us” sweepstakes. From Nov. 1 through Dec. 31, shoppers will be automatically entered in the worldwide sweepstakes each time they use their Military Star card to pay for purchases at the Little Rock AFB Exchange or on shopmyexchange.com. Each transaction counts as one entry. Three grand-prize winners will receive their Military Star card bill paid in full up to $8,200 with a minimum prize of $2,500. Ten second-prize winners will be awarded a $1,000 credit on their Military Star card statement, while 25 third-place winners will earn a $500 credit. Winners with a balance less than their prize amount will receive a credit on their account. “With this sweepstakes, the Exchange is making dreams come true and changing lives,” said General Manager, Al Fuentes. “Just one swipe of a Military Star card is all it takes to enter.”  Winners of the “Your Holiday Bill Is On Us” sweepstakes will be announced on or about Jan. 30.
