Woodard is the information and referral manager at Hill's Family Support Cen- i as s . Contemporary Sofa $279 Kids Video Chair $35 3 pc Table Set $199 Velvet Wins Chairs $149 of information ter and her office is chock-ful- l to help the military, civilian personnel and their families. "If a person comes to me and says they have an elderly care problem or a special-needs child, I search through books of information on childcare in the community or on base for elder care or special medical needs," Woodard said. "I can get the person the services they need based on the county in which they live. "Or maybe a base worker in Centerville can't get to work because his or her car broke down," Woodard continued. "I can help get them a ride to work." She also possesses volumes on subjects like planned parenthood, crisis and suicide prevention, safety, relocation, child support recovery groups, stress and anxiety and emotional abuse. Woodard said her whole mission is to get families the help they need at all costs. "My husband was in the military for 25 years," Woodard said. "We moved 17 times with a handicapped child. I don't want families to experience what life was like years ago. They don't need that. "What I tell everybody is, 'I might not have all the answers for all your questions, but I can sure find a resource for you,'" Woodard said. One of Woodard's big projects is the Home Energy Assistance Target Pro-- . Queen Mattress Set $199 Liesel Woodard gram, for those who need financial assistance paying their utility bills. "It's government assistance to pay for utility bills," Woodard said. 'There are a lot of our workers who qualify for it. I found out about the H.E.A.T. Program through Utah Power and they sent me to formal training." She has also found out about the Utah use for the elderly and some junior enlisted personnel. There will be a seminar for those two programs in early December at the Family Support Center that people can sign up for. She said she also works to change people's attitudes about where they live. 'Tell me what it is that makes you feel at home, and give me a chance to show you that we have it here in Utah," Woodard said. Woodard came from McClellan AFB, Calif., three months ago. She has worked with relocation assistance, information and referral and is a crisis counselor. She also volunteers on community committees. or plastic bags will be accepted.

We understand that we have to lower our prices if we want them to keep shopping with us." Under the 4 Ways to Save banner, the Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) is introducing two major programs. One HOT price and Extra Value. AAFES will also improve the value of the weekly "Sale" items and "Special Buy" promotion.
