Honoring The Families of Those Who Serve

On Saturday, April 12, more than 60 military family members attended Military Family Day at the University of New Hampshire. They spent a beautiful sunny morning engaged in healthy outdoor activities including soccer, blowing and chasing bubbles, and playing Frisbee with volunteers from the UNH Ultimate Frisbee Team. The New Hampshire National Guard (NHNG) State Youth Council provided a photo booth and temporary tattoos for the families, as they enjoyed coffee and refreshments donated by Dunkin Donuts and Hannaford. Families transitioned to Cole Hall for a delicious and healthy lunch of grilled chicken, baked ziti, and green salad that was graciously funded by the Vice President of Student Affairs, Mark Rubinstein, and prepared by the Thompson School of Applied Science Culinary Arts Program.
