Sailors from Explosive Ordnance Disposable Mobile Unit (EODMU) 8 Detachment Europe, the Italian navy’s 1st Regiment San Marco, and Spanish Marines Brimar took part in the first trilateral Cadizex exercise held in simulated urban terrain compound Hogan’s Alley, Oct. 7.
Over the course of four days, the NATO allies worked together in a military-to-military engagement develop-ing bonds as well as using robots, X-rays, and rigging set-ups that can all be used in real-world situations.
“This training is all about partnership building, and within that, we want to build capabilities for both the Spanish and the Italians, who are both NATO allies,” said Lt. Aaron Holdren, EODMU 8 Detachment Europe officer in charge. “What it all comes down to is develop-ing a common vocabulary, a common language we all speak so we can break down language barriers.”
EODMU 8 has conducted this exercise with the Spanish military multiple times in the past, but this is the first time the Italian navy was invited to take part in the exercise. Holdren said he hopes this exercise can become an annual or bi-annual event in the com-ing years.
“The Italians are a fairly new team,” said Holdren. “So by getting out here, they’ve gotten a chance to try
out a lot of different equipment and see what works for them. We’re helping them develop their tactics, technics, and procedures.”
"It’s most important to meet with other countries and work with them,” said Italian navy Lt. Gianfranco Tommasi, explosives ordnance disposable staff officer, 1st Regiment San Marco. “We can find ways to solve problems about ordnance.”
NATO allies work and train together in a variety of places. In this case, Naval Station Rota was chosen because of the capacity of the base to host.
“The main reason we use Rota is because we have fantastic training areas,” said Holdren. “Capt. Greg Pekari and his crew have really worked hard with Com-mander, Naval Expeditionary Task Force Europe and Africa (CTF) 68 to develop these training areas. We’re hoping this will grow. At the end of the day, we all work together, and we find ourselves in a multi-national joint environment. It’s important that we do these tactical type training exercises, and they have a big impact at the strategic level.”
The U.S. 6th Fleet, headquartered in Naples, Italy, conducts a full spectrum of joint and naval operations, often in concert with joint, allies and interagency part-ners, in order to advance U.S. national interests and security and stability in Europe and Africa.

DEVESELU, Romania - Commander, Navy Region Europe, Africa, Southwest Asia (CNREURAFSWA) established Naval Support Facility (NSF) Deveselu Friday, during an establishment and assumption of command ceremony on base.
NSF Deveselu, formerly a disused Romanian airfield, is the first Navy base to be established since Naval Station Everett in Washington, whose official groundbreaking ceremony was held Nov. 9, 1987.
The installation, scheduled to be operational in 2015, will be part of a NATO's overall ballistic missile defense (BMD) system.
Rear Adm. John Scorby, commander, Navy Region Europe, Africa, Southwest Asia, hosted the ceremony.
"This is a historic occasion because ballistic missile threats to the U.S. and our allies are real and grow-ing," Scorby said. "Fortunately, NATO's capabilities and defenses against these threats are also real and growing."
Originally proposed in 2000 by then President George W. Bush, this BMD system, or shield, named the "Aegis Ashore System," is a response by the NATO military alliance to increasing threats posed by the amalgamation of intercontinental ballistic missiles in the Middle East.
Today the Aegis BMD system is the key compo-nent in the Obama administration's plan for a phased deployment of a missile defense umbrella in Europe, which is intended to protect U.S. forces and NATO

Buenos dias, Rota! Well the endless weeks of consistent sunshine have finally come to a close as we have now entered the fall (and rainy) season. The rain has come earlier than many of us wanted, especially after a cooler summer than normal, but we need the rain so I’m not complaining. Hopefully you’ve found your umbrellas, because there will be a need for it this year.
The month of October is already proving to be a busy month and there are several topics I want to touch upon. Two weeks
ago we finished our participation in the Virgen del Rosario, a Rota festival honoring the Virgin Mary, the Patron Saint of the City of Rota. There are usually 20-plus ladies - usually high school seniors - who are selected during the summer by various Rota clubs, high schools, and organizations. They represent those organizations in a variety of Rota ac-tivities and events over the course of the year to include Christmas, Three Kings, and Semana Santa ceremo-nies and fiestas. Our representative,
Naomi Sterling, a senior at David Glasgow Farragut (DGF) High School, admirably represented Naval Station Rota at the several ceremonies these past couple of weeks. Congratulations Naomi!
The Combined Federal Campaign-Overseas (CFC-O) has been in full swing for the last month and a half now. There are thousands of non-profits that depend on CFC funding and are in jeopardy of having to cut programs and services to those who need it most, including our military families. Any donation helps and your strong support of causes and organizations that resonate with you can inspire others. Every little bit counts. Thank you!
This year (and the past umpteen years) our base proudly joined the rest of the nation from Sept. 15 through Wednesday in celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month. Americans observe our Hispanic heritage by celebrating the histories, cultures, and
contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. Hispanic Americans have not hesitated to defend and show their allegiance to this nation in many ways, but especially through their military service. This month recognizes this and also heightens our attention to diversity and the many contributions Hispanics have made to enrich the United States.
We are also observing Domestic Violence Awareness Month to inform service members and their spouses about domestic violence prevention efforts as well as reporting options for vic-tims. Possessing the skills necessary to communicate with one another and resolve conflicts in a non-abusive way is the key to healthy, violence-free relationships. We all need to pause and reflect what that means in an effort to keep our entire Rota community educated about and protected from domestic abuse
Please use the resources available to you at our Fleet and Family Support Center. FFSC offers classes on how to commu-nicate more effectively with your partner, and licensed counselors are available to provide individual and couple's counseling as well. Remember: domestic violence cuts across all age groups and social classes. It happens to service members as well as spouses; to men as well as women. For tips on how to help someone, please see page 4 of this week’s The Coastline.
Lastly, Happy 239th Birthday Navy!! This week the U.S. Navy celebrated its 239th birthday with a cake-cutting ceremony hosted by the Galley and Fleet Logistics Center. The turnout was fantastic and the Galley did a great job. For our history peeps - our Navy traces its origins to the Continental Navy, which the Continental Congress established on Oct. 13, 1775 by authoriz-ing the procurement, fitting out, manning, and dispatch of two armed vessels to cruise in search of munitions ships supplying the British Army in America. And, as they say, the rest is history.
If you’re going to the Navy Ball Saturday, be safe, and if you plan to drink, use a taxi or a designated driver. The Navy Ball committee has a great set-up with a local cab company. The information is on the back of your ticket. Have a great week, Rota. Be safe and look out for one another.
Happy 239th Birthday US Navy

allies from regional threats."Naval Support Facility Deveselu will be a crucial
component in expanding the effectiveness of NATO's overall ballistic missile defense system," Scorby said. "It will also address the threat posed by short and intermedi-ate range ballistic missiles to U.S., European and Allied personnel and assets throughout the region."
The first of two proposed newly established bases, NSF Deveselu will utilize both a SM-3 missile intercep-tor battery platform and an Aegis SPY-1 radar platform. The U.S. government said the SM-3 missiles will have no offensive capability and only target incoming ballistic missiles launched by hostile countries.
Capt. Bill Garren assumed duties as the first com-manding officer of NSF Deveselu.
"It's an honor to be here and have the opportunity to work with this international team of dedicated profes-sional who are building the future of ballistic missile defense in Europe," said Garren. "We have a lot of work ahead of us but our future success rests on the shoulders of this outstanding United States/Romania team. So, we have all we need to excel."
The land-based ballistic missile defense (BMD) sys-tem in Romania will be almost identical to that used on Navy Aegis-capable guided-missile destroyers and cruis-ers. It's designed to detect, track, engage and destroy ballistic missiles in flight.
Also contributing to the BMD system, are the Forward Deployed Naval Forces in Rota, Spain. The forward deployed Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers USS Donald Cook (DDG 75) and USS Ross (DDG 71) are the first of four Aegis BMD warships scheduled to be based in Spain to bolster the defense system.
To further the scope and reach of protection of the region's defense, a Navy base, nearly identical to NSF
Deveselu, will be established in Poland."No single nation can combat global threats alone,"
Scorby said. "We must collectively share information, share experiences and work together for regional sta-bility. U.S., NATO, and European allies stand united in maintaining a Europe that is safe, secure and prosper-ous."
NSF Deveselu sits on about 430 acres. The site will consist of a fire-control radar deckhouse with an as-sociated Aegis command, control and communications suite. Separately, it will house several launch modules containing SM-3 missiles and be manned by about 200 U.S. military personnel, government civilians and sup-port contractors.

When faced with a situation of domes-tic violence, people are frequently unsure of what to do or who to call. Below are some useful tips so, if you need them, you have the resources.
Break the Silence. Make the Call: Call the National Domestic Violence Hotline and talk to the staff about your concerns. They can put you in touch with programs and services in your area that assist victims of domestic violence and their chi ldren. Call 1-800-799-7 2 3 3 o r T T Y 1-800-787-3224.
Become In-formed: Visit the National Domes-tic Violence Hotline website at http://www.thehotline.org/ or the Public Aware-ness site at http://www.makethecall.org and gather all the information you can about domestic violence.
Lend a Sympathetic Ear: Letting your friend know that you care and are willing to listen may be the best help you can offer. Try talking to them about the problem of domestic violence in a gener-al way. Tell them this problem concerns you. Don’t force the issue, but allow them to confide in you at their own pace. Keep your mind open and really listen to what they tell you. Never blame them for
what’s happening or underestimate their fear of potential danger.
Share Your Knowledge: Let them know they are not alone and that caring people are available to help. Encourage them to “break the silence” and seek the assistance of domestic violence advo-cates at the National Domestic Violence Hotline. They can help a victim of abuse plan for safety and identify options.
Be a Friend in Deed: Provide what-ever you can: transportation, child care, or financial assistance. Your friend may
need to rely on family or friends fo r temporary housing. Be very careful when of-fering and pro-
viding safety in your home. A domestic violence victim frequently faces the most physical danger when attempting to flee. Be very discreet and talk to a local do-mestic violence program about the best way to handle this.
Report any Emergency: It cannot be overemphasized that domestic violence is a crime that can result in serious physi-cal injury and even death. If you know that a violent incident is occurring, call the police immediately. Calling the police does not always mean the abuser will be put in jail. It is simply the most effective way to protect the victim and children from immediate harm.

For anyone who uses a computer, October is not just about picking out cos-tumes and putting up Halloween decorations, it is also National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM).
President Barack Obama called upon the people of the United States to rec-ognize the importance of cybersecurity and to observe this month with activities, events, and training in his declaration of NCSAM on Sept. 30. The Department of Homeland Security, as the lead federal agency on cybersecurity, followed the declaration with the statement, "National Cybersecurity Awareness Month is de-signed to engage and educate public and private sector partners through events and initiatives with the goal of raising awareness about cybersecurity and increasing the resiliency of the nation in the event of a cyber-incident."
Most of us use the Internet every day, whether it be for work, school, entertainment, social interaction with family and friends, or a myriad of other reasons. Because so much of our lives are conducted online, we are all at some level of risk, which varies from stolen identi-ties and financial data, cyber bullying, to computer viruses that destroy our data, just to

The Virgen del Rosario, the Patron Saint of the City of Rota, celebration dates back to the 16th century. With the exception of the local Feria de la Primavera, Virgen del Rosario is one of the most relevant festivals held in the city.
The celebration began with launch-ing rockets and a parade through Rota. Other activities included the crowning of the queen, or “Dama Mayor,” in honor to the Virgen, followed by a religious procession through the streets of the city.
Virgen del Rosario is the largest and one of the most significant commu-nity relations events Naval Station Rota participates in. It is also the premier Rota community event which the base engages the City Hall and mayor. The U.S. community has played an important role in this event for the past 35 years.
Spanish festivities and celebrations are normally very particular and exclu-sive. Virgen del Rosario is one the very
few celebrations where the U.S. com-munity is invited to participate with a U.S. representative. The U.S. participation demonstrates to the local community that their partnerships are not only with the City of Rota, but also with the American and Spanish navy as well.
Celebrations took place over a month and were overseen by the Reina “Queen” and her Damas de Honor, or maids of honor. These are approximately 25 high school students from throughout Rota, with one U.S. student selected from David Glasgow Farragut (DGF) High School. This year, however, two U.S. students participated, with one from DGF and the other sponsored by a local organization.
During the celebration, the group participates in many community events including a base tour, hosted by the U.S. and Spanish navies. Other important events include a dinner hosted by Rota City Hall and the final parade through the streets of Rota, which took place Oct. 7.
The visit to this base by the queen started with a breakfast hosted by the Spanish navy at their officer’s club. From there, they toured different departments on the Spanish and American sides of
the base including a Spanish Aircraft Flotilla, a U.S. Air Force airplane, the DGF schools, the Spanish navy ship “BAA Castilla,” and finally a lunch at Pinz Bowling Center hosted by U.S. Navy.

name a few. As part of a military community living overseas, we
have additional risks to consider to include operational security (OPSEC) that is too frequently ignored by people who share sensitive information regarding ship, aircraft, and deployable forces schedules, exploitation of
Department of Defense computers by hackers, and to the latest threat of terrorists targeting U.S. military and military families at home through information gained on social networking sites.
In today’s online society, which is only increasing in people and threats, it is not a question of “if,” but “when” you become the victim. So what can you do?
Stop. Think. Connect. - Stop and take the time to understand the risks and
potential problems, and take the necessary security and safety precautions to mitigate those risks.
- Think about the consequences of your online actions and behaviors, and consider how they could impact you and your family's safety and privacy.
- Connect and enjoy the Internet with greater confidence, knowing you've taken the right steps to safeguard your computer and online accounts, thereby better protecting you and your family.

I interact with people most every day who are walking around a shell of their former selves, bearing a heavy load of guilt and shame. Self-loathing cross-bearers, punishing themselves far beyond what’s reasonable and fair. Truth be told, we all carry guilt
and shame. From Ray Rice and Michael Phelps to you and me, the guy down the street, and the girl next door.
Often times we feel as though we can’t ap-proach God because of such overwhelming emo-tions. We say things like: Look at what I’ve done and things I keep doing
despite my promises to be better. There’s no way God would listen or be interested in a person like me. We’re ashamed of the things we have done or have left undone. So we quarantine ourselves and avoid God as if we have an infectious disease.
In ancient times, people had a method for over-coming such things. The ancients held great fear in approaching the thrones of the gods. You never quite knew when they were going to withhold the rain for your crops or strike your people down with an out-break of incurable, lethal diseases. In many religions, they developed a ritual washing ceremony that was intended to cleanse them of all impurities so that they could stand with confidence before their god(s).
We could use something like that today.I recently baptized two dozen Sailors from our ships
at Yardenit, a ceremonial baptism site at the Jordan River during two port visits in Israel. It’s a pretty big deal for religious folks making a pilgrimage to the “Holy Lands” because the Scriptures say that Jesus himself was baptized in this very river.
The site is picturesque, but overly commercialized. White robes and changing rooms are provided for
$10, and one can even purchase small bottles of the Jordan’s water if desired (along with a host of other products - some gimmicky - offered at the gift shop through which one must pass to exit the free market area). Despite capitalism’s far-reaching tentacles, the whole ceremony of baptism proves itself time and time again to be deeply moving on many levels (even the secular, Jewish tour guides concurred).
I begin with a short explanation of the ritual - its his-tory and meaning. I explain how it was common in the early church for baptisms to be performed completely nude (an odd but true historical fact). Strangely, they respond with surprise, disbelief, and maybe even a little fear when I ask them to fully disrobe for the sake of historical accuracy and efficacy. For those who, for a moment, thought it to be a serious request, it was quite a relief to discover it a poor attempt at humor. Perhaps they were already a bit nervous that I said it was free to go under (the water), as in total submer-sion, but 50 shekels to ensure they come back up. I do, after all, have spiritual powers and a Darth Vader-like death grip.
Religion is often used as a hammer, a tool of fear-mongers who want to control and have power over others.
Some Sailors, upon entering the water, tremble at the approaching, sacred moment while others begin to shed tears over all the wrongs they had committed. The guilt and shame become too much.
But this ceremony is supposed to a be a celebra-tion.
Baptism, to me, means a lot of things. For one, it’s a rite of passage into a movement, a way of life. And for two, it’s a symbol of a hope we have in life after death, resurrection. But, like the ancients, it’s also a symbol of purity and cleansing.
It’s a re-telling of the moment all our impurities were washed away. The guilt and shame we once felt for falling short, for the evil we’ve breathed into the world, for the disruption of shalom can all be tossed into
the depths of the sea. We don’t have to live like that anymore. It doesn’t have to dominate and destroy us. We can live freely and fully, embracing the love and grace of God and living from that source of abundance rather than a source of embarrassment, shame, and self-loathing. We can live inspired by joy, love, grace, and complete acceptance rather than fear and guilt. God invites us to live as though we are perfectly loved just as we are - because that’s exactly as it is.
In the Jordan, there are thousands of these little fish called “garra rufa,” or “Doctor Fish,” that nibble off the dead or diseased skin on human feet. They are native to the Middle East and have been used for centuries all over the world as spa treatments and even to treat skin diseases. In most places, one must pay for the treatment; in Yardenit, at your baptism, they are complementary, and having arrived unannounced in overwhelming numbers, quite surprising. Dozens swarm and attack your feet. It feels as though your older siblings are holding you down and tickling your feet until you almost pee your pants. For one unlucky Sailor who hates fish, he couldn’t get out of the water fast enough.
How fitting that while we are tending to our spiritual cleansing, these garra rufas are at the same time cleansing the physical.
But God does far more than these persistent skin-munchers.
Unlike the ancient religions where the follower must cleanse herself in order to approach the gods, this God comes to us right where we are and just as we are (warts, blemishes, dirt, and all) and says: “Let me cleanse you from the inside out.”
A fresh you. A new beginning. A clean slate. A chance to live the life you were designed to live.
In the words of my good friend, Rob Bell, “The gods aren’t angry.”
No matter what you’ve done or where you’ve been, or even where you are at now, God is not angry.
God is not mad at you.
Embrace God's Love, Grace to Life Freely, Fully

Nurturing Parenting for New, Expectant Parents Every Friday, 10 a.m. to noon. Developed by Stephen J. Bavolek, Ph.D., the Nurturing Parenting Support Program provides specific parenting techniques to help parents build trust and self-esteem in their children, engage cooperation, and find a helpful approach to discipline. Nurturing is the ability to care for and foster growth in us and others. We all need to be nurtured - to receive un-derstanding, respect, recognition, praise, security, limits, and appropriate expectations. A nurturing parent-child relationship is crucial for producing the next generation of healthy, responsible, and self-sustaining adults. All expectant parents or those with children birth to age 3 are encouraged to attend these interactive, free sessions. If interested in a New Parent Support consultation or to sign up for the workshop, please contact FFSC at 727-3232.

It starts at a train station in El Puerto de Santa Maria with four students, four counselors, and eight heavy backpacks. Parents snap photos and wave goodbye as the Outdoor Adventure Camp (OAC) Europe 2014 boards the first of three trains that will take them to Barcelona, where they’ll meet 16 other campers who have flown in from all over the world. As the train leaves the station, the question on everyone’s mind is: “What did I just sign up for?”
No one could have imagined the two weeks that followed. An itinerary outlined all the day activi-
ties - everything from kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding to canyon descending and whitewater rafting, all culminat-ing in a three-day hike in the mountains on the French and Italian border.
But they couldn’t have pre-dicted the challenges that were faced and overcome, or the opportunities and friendships that resulted from participating in the Outdoor Adventure Camp Europe 2014.
For some, just making it into the camp was enough.
“Just when I had given up and lost all hope, I got accepted into this camp,” said Ray Dun-
can of Yokosuka, Japan. “I had already received two rejections earlier in the year, and if I had gotten one more, I don’t know what I would have done.”
Others appreciated the experience more after all the activities and accomplishments of the camp.
“With the OAC Europe, I was able to travel to the most beautiful countries and cities, experience the tastiest foods, live and learn several cultures, challenge myself in multiple activities that I haven’t done before, and make amazing friends who live a similar life as my own,” said Kendal Karstens of Maryland.

But Mackenzie Phakonkham from Rota summed it up in one sentence, “The camp was the best thing I’ve done in my whole life, and it was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
While OAC Europe certainly has been the grand-est to date, similarly adventurous activities are regularly offered by Rota’s Youth Programs locally such as zip lining, paddleboarding, surfing, hiking, kayaking, skiing, and snowboarding. Teens inter-ested in traveling the world, making new friends, and experiencing adventure should join in the fun so that they, like camper Quinton Dai, can “make something great in your life … and shine your brightest.”

Cpl. Michael Baker
Team Rota in the Spotlight
A native of Walstonburg, North Carolina, Cpl. Michael Baker joined the Marines on June 21, 2010. He went to boot camp in Paris Island, South Carolina and graduated in September 2010. Next, he attended Postal School at Fort Jackson, South Carolina for five weeks before transferring to Twenty-Nine Palms, California where he was stationed for three years.
From March 2012 to October 2012, he was deployed to Afghanistan where he helped with postal services. Then, he returned to Twenty-Nine Palms later that same year. In January, he arrived in Rota and joined the Fleet Logistics Center Sigonella, Italy, Detachment Rota.
Baker works at the post office as the operations non-commissioned officer (NCO) and manages 12 Sailors and Marines. He primarily handles administrative duties, oversees the sorting of mail every morning, and controls the dispatch of mail. Additionally, he trains new mail clerks for tenant commands and other departments.
“I enjoy working with the Navy,” said Baker. “It’s a different experience and not what I’m used to.”
Baker said his biggest accomplishment thus far was winning his high school crush’s heart and marrying her June 1.
Baker encourages all service members to “stay humble and keep it moving.”

Kick the HabitYou can’t pick up a magazine or
newspaper these days without reading an article related to wellness and healthy lifestyles. Why? Because more and more research shows that most of the diseases we suffer from in the 21st century are diseases of lifestyle choices. No longer are we being wiped out by plagues or dying from pneumonia. Our health risks today are sedentary lifestyles and nicotine addiction, and our diseases are things like diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure from stress, lack of exercise, and living “The Good Life.” Small changes made in the way we live day to day can make a huge difference in our health.
The Health Promotion Department at Naval Hospital Rota is committed to helping you identify those changes you can make, and supporting you along the way toward your goal of a healthier lifestyle.
Research tells us that smoking is the number one preventable cause of death in the U.S. today. The good news is that when smokers quit, their body begins healing itself, and the risk for lung cancer, stroke, and coronary heart disease can eventually equal that of a non-smoker. Health Promotion runs tobacco cessation classes all year long to help you break free from the addic-tion of nicotine. Classes are held in the Hospital Health Education Room on Tuesdays at 11 a.m. for four consecutive weeks. Kicking the nicotine addiction is the most important thing you can do for your health. Call 727-3350 to sign-up and stay Healthy for Life.

1. Check the condenser coils on your refrigerator at least twice a year, and keep them clean. Refrig-erators, refrigerator/freezers, and freezers with dirty condenser coils (found on the back or bottom of the appliance) consume more energy.
2. Check the door seals of your refrigerator, refrig-erator/freezer, and freezer. If the seal is cracked, or cold air is escaping, the seal (or perhaps the appli-ance, if it is very old) should be replaced.
3. Before you store leftovers in the refrigerator or
freezer, let them cool down that way, your appliance doesn’t have to work as hard.
4. To be sure your refrigerator operates most ef-ficiently, keep it full, but not overloaded. Overloading it will prevent cold air from circulating properly.
Weekly Energy Tip: Appliance Energy Tips
David Glasgow Farragut (DGF) El-ementary School and the American Red Cross Rota are pleased to announce the continuation of the After School Scholars Program (ASSP), kicking off Wednesday.
The ASSP is entering its fourth year and is designed to give additional reading support to children in grades first through third at DGF Elementary School. Volun-teer tutors are assigned to children for the duration of the program, which is Oct. 29 through April 1. The volunteers meet with their students once a week, or every other week depending on the volunteer’s level of commitment, for one hour to work on reading fluency and comprehension. Each week the children read books to their tutor who then helps them with vocabulary the student finds challenging. After finishing the book the pair then discusses it and uses the computer lab to take “Reading Counts” quizzes.
Tutors from past years have found their time with the children very rewarding and many return each school year.
“I love the After School Scholars pro-
gram! The kids really enjoy the time spent reading and get a lot out of the program. It's one small way that allows me to give back to the community,” said Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class David Morales who is entering his third year with the ASSP.
One hour a week can make a world of difference to a young child and you can help! The American Red Cross Rota is looking for volunteers for this highly reward-ing program. The After School Scholars Program is an ideal opportunity for service members, spouses, high school students, those looking for volunteer hours or anyone who enjoys working with young children.
“After School Scholars is a great way to give back to the Rota community,” said ASSP Educational Lead, Alice Rambo. “Our students look forward to meeting with their volunteers each week. The program is fun for everyone!”
If you are interested in volunteering or would like additional information about the program, please contact the American Red Cross Rota by Monday. The American Red Cross can be reached at 727-2333, 956-82-2333, or by email at [email protected].
