OPERATION PURPLE

    The National Military Family Association is piloting two Operation Purple Family Retreats.  These free four-day retreats are set in a National Park where the family will have opportunities to strengthen and renew relationships, explore their natural surroundings and participate in fun family focused activities.

    These retreats are open to Service Members and their families who have experienced deployment in the last twelve months.  Families who attend will receive a $200.00 stipend upon arrival to the retreat site to cover the cost of travel.  The retreats are free thanks to the support of the Sierra Club and the Sierra Club Foundation.

    Spaces are limited so if you are interested you need to act quickly.  For more information please visit www.nmfa.org or contact Cynthia Clagg at cynthia.clagg@nmfa.org.
