They're open for business and ready to continue serving Team Robins.

The 78th Force Support Squadron runs a host of services available to base personnel. Those services include multiple dining options, a bowling center, fitness center, golf course, and many others.

Linda Hinkle, 78th FSS marketing director, and Joyce Brannon, Arts and Crafts Center director, said that due to some of the reductions made during the past few months, customers have been inquiring if services will continue.

The answer is yes.

Brannon said many customers have walked in and asked when Arts and Crafts would close. She pointed out that staff is available to continue providing the same service for framing, trophies, personalized gifts, engraving and woodworking.

"We want to convey that even though some think we might be closing, it's not an immediate problem," she said. "We'd like to assure our customers we're here to do the same great service we've been doing."

Hinkle agreed. "We're open; we're ready to serve, and want to do so to the best of our ability. That's what we're here for."

Hinkle said questions had poured in regarding base bowling leagues, and if folks should start looking downtown for recreation.

"The bowling center is thriving and doing very well, and will continue to do full leagues with great enthusiasm," she said.

Bottom line, nothing has changed, she said. Everyone is encouraged to take part and use services available across the base.

Services recently added a freshly-prepared breakfast served daily from 7 to 10 a.m. at Fairways Grille at the golf course.

"There will be plenty of notice if anything changes," stressed Brannon. "Even with cutbacks, we're still here.
