JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON, Alaska --  In order to expose Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson personnel to Force Support Squadron services, as well as give back to the community, the 673d Force Support Squadron is hosting contest, during which they will give more away more than $1,600 in prizes.

"When we sell ads, the money earned goes to the facility where the ad is placed," said Steve Sarandos, 673d FSS Marketing Director.  "However, when we sell ads in the JBER Life magazine and on our website, the money comes straight to marketing, and we have some flexibility with how we use this money to support FSS and JBER."

Recently, the marketing section sold several ads, leaving the squadron with a bit of profit -- in an effort to say thank you, FSS decided to thank those who give the most.

"We wanted to give back to the JBER military members and families," said Aleesha Baxter, 673d Marketing assistant. "They do so much hard work and give so much sacrifice, we want to reciprocate and show our gratitude."

The contest will give away:
- an Xbox1
- 48" Smart TV
- $250 Visa Gift Card
- assortment of $25 gift cards
- four-pack of tickets to December concerts at the Williwaw
- one outdoor recreation trip voucher
- five passes to the Polar Bowl NYE party
- 12 pack of passes to the Seward Sea Life Center
- $50 FSS Gift Card

To enter, people need to take a selfie using a FSS facility and post it to the FSS Facebook page with the hashtag #holidayswithFSS and the location of the picture.  The nine pictures with the most likes December 17 will be awarded the prizes.

This process will also allow the JBER community to become familiar with the numerous activities and functions FSS offers.
