6 ANNOUNCING AN "OUT & ABOUT" EVENT September 17, 2018 Tour Fort Leonard Wood YOU RE IN THE ARMY NOW Monday September 17, 2018 Tour Ft. Leonard Wood with the Out & Abouts and the knowledgeable and entertaining Linda Koenig as our guide! We have the opportunity to visit one of the most important Army bases in the U.S. Located in the rolling hills of Missouri, Fort Leonard Wood is home to training and educational services and facilities vital to the safety and security of our country. The bonus surprise is how beautifully the base is situated and landscaped. 6:30am: Meet at the HHR clubhouse. Participants must show the photo-id previously provided to Linda Scroggin in order to board the motor coach. See explanation on the next page. 7:00am: Group departs HHR clubhouse on our 55-passenger motor coach Restroom break at highway rest stop at half-way point 10:00am: Arrive at Fort Leonard Wood. Take a driving tour of the base, and visit buildings, firing range, facilities and activities as selected by the Ft. Leonard Wood staff. Depending on the base activity schedule, we may be treated to as-yet unscheduled events. About 11:30am: Enjoy dining with the soldiers in one of the post dining facilities or at the PX. Afterwards visit the John B. Mahaffey Museum of Engineering, Military Police, and Chemical Warfare. Stroll among heavy equipment, barracks, a mess hall, and a POW facility from the WW II era. Continue touring the base, observing actual engineering and HAZMAT training sites. 6

7 2:45am: Depart Ft. Leonard Wood. Restroom break at highway rest stop at half-way point 6:00pm: Arrive back at Heritage of Hawk Point clubhouse This tour includes transportation on a 55-passenger motor coach, gratuities, lunch and the services of our tour guide Linda Koenig. Cost is $75 per person for members of Out and About and $80 for nonmembers. To participate in a tour of a military facility, Linda Scroggin must receive a list of all participants' names, addresses, phone numbers and MO Driver's license numbers, passport numbers or other government-issued photo ID numbers when you pay. If you are a veteran, include your branch of service and tour of duty dates. Participants must show the photo-id previously provided to Linda Scroggin in order to board the motor coach. Ft. Leonard Wood requires that all tour groups be a maximum of 43 people, not counting the driver and the tour guide. Deadline for sign up and payment is March 31, After that date, if we do not have 43 people signed up, the tour will be opened to HHR non-club residents. If interested, contact Linda Scroggin ( or lescrog@aol.com). Make checks out to Out and About and place in the white binder at the HHR clubhouse office. Rest Stops: Because we may not have time or access during our highway rest stops to purchase food or drink, please bring what you need to travel for three hours there and back and also bring a snack to share. Out & About will provide bottled water. Dining: Lunch is included. At this time we do not know if the base will allow us to dine with the soldiers in the mess hall. If not, we will dine in the PX. Both places have a number of different food options available so that dietary restrictions will not be an issue. Handicap Accommodations: Everything is disabled-accessible with no steps. Much of the day at the base is on the motor coach, touring. But there is walking into the buildings that we tour and walking around the main floor of those buildings, such as the museums, lunch in the PX, etc. If it's a nice day, some may want to wander through the WW II tanks, planes, and the WW II barracks. Visiting those sights involves walking a couple of blocks, but that will take time away from touring the indoor museums. Powered scooters and wheel chairs can be accommodated on the motor coach; however, you must be able to climb the steps into the motor coach. Photography: You can take photos some places, but not all. Always ask before taking a photo. Refund Policy: The amount refunded to those who cancel can only be calculated after the trip has been completed and all expenses have been paid. Typically, refunds are made approximately two weeks after the conclusion of a trip. 7
