11/19/2010 - DOBBINS AIR RESERVE BASE, Ga. -- Hard work, long hours, inspections, deployments and more hard work is the theme of operations for 94th Airlift Wing reservists, Active Guard and Reserve Airmen, contractors and civilians who perform their duties each workday.
As a reward and recognition for jobs well done throughout the year, 94th Airlift Wing leadership sponsored a Team Day event at Dobbins Air Reserve Base Nov. 17.
The event gave Team Dobbins members the chance to fellowship, break bread together and have fun competing in a variety of events that included basketball, card games and a tug-of-war competition.
From 10 a.m. till 4 p.m., buses transported members to the Lakeside area where food, games and festivities awaited Team Dobbins' guests of honors. Competitive games which included horseshoes, softball and tennis provided the fit to fight spirit for "Team Dobbins members" to work off the pulled-pork sandwiches, hot dogs and other goodies provided by the 94th Services.
"This event allowed everyone to just enjoy themselves and come together as a team for one day," said Elisha Bowens, 94th Mission Support Group Customer Service assistant chief. "It was a good idea to have this event. I'm looking forward to another team day event at Dobbins."
Col. Timothy Tarchick, 94th Airlift Wing commander, extends his appreciation to all who contributed to the success of Team Day.
"I want to take a moment and tell you that the 2010 Team Day was a huge success," he said. "The weather was perfect; the food was great and the attitudes were joyful.
"I want to thank Dick Ames, Chief of Services and his entire Services team that made Team Day possible," said Colonel Tarchick. "A big thank you to all the group, airlift wing and aeromedical staging squadron Team Day captains and points of contact that organized the event along with the Services team."
