ACES
stands for Aviano Community Enlisted Spouses. ACES is a volunteer
organization. We get together once a month as a celebration of the
hard work we've done to help our base.
ACES is a philanthropic
organization made up of enlisted and civilian spouses here at Aviano
Air Base. We support our community through scholarships and donations
to various organizations and individuals. We also support the quarterly
awards ceremony that honors our outstanding active duty members
and volunteers. ACES hosts an annual Breast Cancer Awareness Walk
to donate to the Combined Federal Campaign. Among other events,
ACES plays a large role in the Spouse It Up program, Operation Yellow
Ribbon, and the annual Primavera Bazaar. We also run the base Thrift
Store on Area 2.
ACES comes
together monthly in celebration to socialize, relax, and get away
from "the real world" for a few hours. Its a great way
to be you, instead of someone's military wife/husband or mom/dad
for just a little while!
While volunteering
is our number one priority, we also like to have some fun. We take
part in events like Trunk or Treat and the base wide Holiday Card
Lane competition. When we aren't out promoting ACES, we have sub-committees
within ACES to help keep Aviano spouses busy including a book club
and a work out club. Interested in creating a new sub-committee?
Become a member and start one!
There are so
many great opportunities for spouses here at Aviano, and the best
way to find out what they are is to join one of the base organizations.
I encourage you to come out for a meeting, and see what you like.
The worst thing that could happen is you walk away with a new friend..
and that is never bad. Your attitude will decide how you spend your
time in Aviano, so keep it
positive. This is such a wonderful opportunity and I hope you can
enjoy every minute of it!
Again,
welcome to Aviano and make it a great couple of years!
