With one month down and 11
more to go, now’s a good time to
get some encouragement for your
New Year’s resolution – and the
commissary website has it.
Just check out our Healthy
Living section to find helpful
information and links to sites of
organizations that are experts in
nutrition, health and wellness.
Take your time to thoughtfully
look through the links and
information in view of your
personal goals and objectives.
You’ll find a variety of online tools
and mobile applications that can
help guide, track and measure the
goals you’ve set for yourself.
Commissary promotions mean healthy savings
For those with an eye on their
budget and eating healthier, it’s
always better to buy groceries and
prepare meals at home.
That is what Randy Chandler,
DeCA’s director of sales, said
when talking about DeCA’s
February promotions.
Customer savings tie in with a
variety of February events from
Heart Healthy Month and
Valentine’s Day to the Winter
Olympics and more.
See February savings to learn more.
Deadline this month for scholarship application
Here’s a friendly reminder.
The deadline to apply for a
$2,000 scholarship through the
Scholarships for Military
Children program is close of
business Feb. 28.
The program will award at
least one scholarship at each
commissary with qualified
applicants.
Find out more and learn how to
apply.
Staying informed of food-safety-related recalls can be a full-time job. Thanks to
Commissaries.com, it’s just a couple clicks away. Click Stay Informed for alerts on products
sold in commissaries or on All Recalls from the FDA.

Who’s afraid of cooking from scratch
when it’s “Valentine’s Day Brownies”?
Put your “real chef” apron on and prepare to mix flour with two types of chocolate,
eggs and sugar for brownies with a crackly top that literally melts in your mouth. Kay
says, “They’re worth every bit of effort it takes to make them for your sweetheart on
Valentine’s Day, or any other day of the year.” Check the recipe.
Store Director’s Scoop
First and foremost I would like
to thank each of you who
supported the Special Olympics
promotion with added purchases
of your favorite products. Your
cooperation not only saved you
dollars in your household
budget, but helped generate
significant dollars for the local
Junction City Special Olympics
charter, the Junction City
Pacesetters.

4. Did you know our store has its
own pages on the commissary
website: Please visit us at
http://www.commissaries.com
find us under the “Locations”
tab. There is also local store
information on this site that can
help you navigate the store or
create a shopping list by aisle.
Come look at your local
commissary today for all your
Valentine needs. We have
fantastic plants and loads of
candy selections for your loved
ones to enjoy. Maybe they will
even share with you on that
wonderful day.
Please note we will be closing
early on Washington’s Birthday
at 5:00 PM, February 17, 2014.
Some call it President’s day, but
if we recall the actual bill making
it a Federal Holiday, it is
Washington’s Day.
5. Want a Deli item but don’t want
to stand and wait for it? Now you
can stop by at the beginning of
your commissary visit and fill out
a special order slip. Once your
order is placed, the Deli will get
it ready and let you know when it
is available for pick-up (in most
cases even before you finish
shopping).
