Our Family Day has now been moved from 4 August to 12 August and will be held at Seal Beach Naval Base.  The FRG will still have many activities planned, just now in a new venue.  Stay tuned for more updates and we look forward to seeing the soldiers and their families out at Seal Beach.

This past weekend, the 315th FRG held their 1st Rummage Sale supported solely from donations from the soldiers.  We had a large turnout of buyers and made a significant amount of money to help us provide for our 315th families.  Soldiers assisted in the set up, moving, and selling of items which really helped out the FRG.  Aside from buyers purchasing rummage sale items, we also received a lot of gratitude, support, and even monetary donations from the community.  A huge thanks to those soldiers who helped and especially those who donated items.  We could not imagine the turnout we had and it was only successful due to all of the support and participation of our soldiers and their families. 
This same weekend, we also had a small bake goods and root beer floats sale which many of the soldiers were happy to see.  The bake sale seems to be one of the more requested events that we do and we are always happy to provide.  Thanks again to everyone who participated and we look forward to our next event.  Keep checking Facebook, the website, and the calendar for updates.

Another reminder that during this weekend's drill, the FRG will be holding a rummage sale on Saturday while you guys are out in the field.  Rummage sales are only successful if there are things to sell so be sure to donate items on Friday when you arrive at the drill hall.  Any old items around your home that you would like to get rid of can be donated.  Make sure all items are in good, working condition.  For large items such as couches, TVs, and desks, tomorrow (Wednesday) is the deadline to contact the FRG for pick up.  If you cannot bring it down on Friday, the FRG can pick it up from your home but it has to be scheduled no later than tomorrow.  We look forward to seeing you and having a successful rummage sale.

The City of Chino is having their annual Fourth of July celebration complete with vendors, games, music, and fireworks on Saturday June 30, 2012.  This is a free event, open to everybody.  Parking is limited so be sure to get there early.  The fireworks will begin at around 9pm but the entertainment goes throughout the day.  It is held every year at Ayala Park which is located at the corner of Edison Ave. and Central Ave. in Chino, about 20 minutes south from the Unit.  If you are looking for something the whole family can enjoy, stop by Ayala Park.  For more information, contact the Community Services Department at (909) 591-9831 or email to [email protected].

We have recently made some minor changes to our website thanks to new features from weebly.com.  There is a new Facebook button and new page layouts.  Let us know what you think and if any more changes are needed.  If there is any information that you would like to see on the site, please let us know.  We need to make this site for our families of the 315th.  As always, if you have any pictures you would like posted, please email us using our contact page.  Future changes include more information regarding the individual members of the FRG.

It has been a while since the last post but a few things have happened.  First, the FRG hopes everyone had a safe and eventful Memorial Day.  There were a lot of parades and military recognition ceremonies going on throughout the country but we hope everyone took time to remember the soldiers who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. 
Next, we had our FRG meeting yesterday and we discussed some upcoming events for this June battle assembly as well as August.  We are planning some family day activities for August and also some "welcome home" activities for our recently returned soldiers from both Iraq and Afghanistan.  If you have any suggestions, please contact us at this website or on our email address. 

For this upcoming battle assembly, we have already planned a rummage sale for the Saturday of June battle assembly.  For those of you that do not know what this is, it is like a large yard sale where everyone contributes something to sell.  All of the proceeds as always, will benefit our soldiers.  Clean out your garage, attics, and storage units and bring in any working electronics or items in good condition.  We are trying to draw in a good crowd from Upland so that they can contribute to our unit and FRG.  If you need any large or bulky items picked up from your home, please let us know no later than Wednesday, June 20th.  We will schedule a pick up for you on the Friday of battle assembly.  You do not have to do any work, just tell us where to go on the 20th.  Any items that are not sold will be donated to the Salvation Army on Sunday following the rummage sale.  There is no limit on what you can bring, just make sure it can be sold.  Email or contact any FRG member for more details.
