network and are organized to support the spouses and family's here in the 
Fredericksburg area while their loved one is deployed overseas. FRG's do not

celebrations. They are also a resource for special needs such as periodic baby 
sitting or short term financial assistance.

premier entertainment and access to great American fare, but great American fun 
too! Attendees bring their favorite beach chair, pail and shovel for the
