Air Force Food and Beverage Division Football Frenzy Submitted by Jim Krueger, CMCE

T he NFL football season came to

an exciting close and Air Force

club members SSgt Richard and

Stephanie Crites (Spangdahlem) as

well as USAF Ret Marsha Nelson

(Shaw)

and

USAF

Ret

Roger

Nelson

were

there

live and in person to see it! As the

grand prize winners of Football Frenzy

2016, the Crites and Nelsons attended

pre-tailgate events, the NFL Honors,

and Super Bowl LII! Sponsored by

USAA, this once in a lifetime trip also

included airfare, event transportation,

and hotel accommodations. This was

the first year that the Air Force

partnered with USAA for Football

Frenzy. Through their support, 100

tickets were awarded for NFL games

across the country and in the United

Kingdom.

“Stephanie and I have been best

friends since 1st grade and club

members since I was

an A1C” said SSgt

Crites. “She promised

to get me to the Super

Bowl someday; we just

never imagined it

would be like this!”

Members were also

surprised to receive emails and see

their names on the MyAirForceLife

Facebook page on Super Bowl Sunday

as instant winners of a $100 NFL

ProShop gift card! “The 10-hour prize

giveaway via social media and email

created an immediate buzz when it

kicked off at 1300 CST,” said Charissa

Jarrett, Business Operations

Specialist. We are still receiving thank

you emails; the contents of which can

be summed up with, “the club is like a

piece of home and we are looking

forward to another exciting season!”

Thank you for supporting the tradition

and heritage of Air Force Clubs!

Blue’s Clues - Celebrating the Holiday Season by Ramon M. Maisonet

http://www.rosepacking.com/


I MCEA Hawaii Chapter quarterly meeting held at

Hickam Officers Club on Tuesday 2-7-17, 1800 hrs.

Guest Speaker: Mr. Jim Kelly, vice president of corporate relations at Hawaiian Electric Company spoke about what Hawaiian Electric is currently doing with regard to alternative renewable energy.

Mr. Kelly said the military is their biggest and most demanding customer, but there is a positive relation-ship. It is also easier

to get energy projects installed/working on a military base. Mr. Kelly said Hawaiian Electric Co. is working on the state’s goal of having 100% renewable energy available by the year 2025. He mentioned that several of the islands are progressing in terms of reaching that goal. He also spoke about the company’s new initiative to make energy information available via social media, including an online outage map and customer service portal and touched on electric cars and how the company is helping with solutions for charging the vehicles. Historical fact: Prince Kuhio was the first person to have a car in Hawaii. Major renewable projects such as:

• Na Pua Makani Wind - 24 MW project scheduled for construction in 2017.

• Waianae Solar— Largest solar project in Hawaii - 28 MW. Will displace 3.5 gallons of oil annually. Online January 2017.

Hawaiian Electric’s Position on Solar: Rooftop solar is a key component of our 100% clean energy plan. Because of rate decoupling, solar does not hurt our profits. Solar must be integrated safely and reliably. Our research and field testing is nationally recognized for expanding solar. Reducing approval times is a major goal. Shared community renewables provide smart choices. Participants purchase an interest in the energy produced by the renewable energy project to offset their monthly energy use. Each month, the participant’s electric bill is credited the amount of their interest in the renewable Project. Awaiting regulatory agencies approval. After 117 years it’s time for EVs, the ideal commuter vehicle for Honolulu. Installing up to 25 fast chargers, working with startups on mobile charging solutions. Special rates encourage daytime charging and puts excess solar to work during the day.

Meeting adjourned 2-7-17, 1910 hrs.

Attendance: Michael Amarosa, CMCE, IMCOM Pacific G9, Army MWR; Jeff Chaney, Executive director, MCCS; Elden Doi, CMCE, President IMCEA Hawaii Chapter, USMC; Don Figueira, CMCE, F&B Director, USMC; Suzanne King, Director FMWR Army; Kendrick Kunichika, Business Ops Manager, USMC; Thomas Lee, Military Affairs, Governor Ige’s Office; Keith Mashiyama, CFO MCCS; Mel Matsumura, Hickam Bowling Center Manager; Kellie McNamara, PACOM Food Service Manager, USMC; Neil Morgan, MWR Director, Coast Guard; John O’Keefe, retired quality assurance officer, Army; Todd Scalf, Chief Business Operation, Army; Laura Smith, Business Ops Secretary, USMC; Mark Tsuchiyama Executive Chef, Army; Hyun Woo Chang, NAF Support Manager, Army; Cherish Yamashiro, ITT Manager, USMC
