JOINT BASE MYER-HENDERSON HALL, Va. - Andrew Rader U.S. Army Health Clinic staff members and their families got a head start on the Labor Day weekend Aug. 28 with an organization day celebration.
Medical Support Assistant Wendy Werner, who helped put the event together, was all smiles as she reveled in the sunny skies and low humidity that highlighted the day.
“In the past, it has usually rained,” she said. “This day is gorgeous.”
Werner served as the clinic’s detachment sergeant before retiring from the Army and put together the event while she was on active duty.
“I came back to work at the clinic after I retired. I liked it so much I came back,” she said with a laugh.
The event took place on the field adjacent to the clinic and featured hamburgers, hot dogs and all the fixings for lunch.
“We’ve got a little bit of everything,” Werner said.
After lunch, clinic staff and their families teamed up in a tug of war, water balloon toss, three-legged race, hula hoop and “dizzy izzy” competition. Onlookers cheered on the athletes throughout the competition.
A dessert contest drew a number of home-baked goodies, including a cake offering by 4-year-old Adrienne Moseley, daughter of Dr. Nicole Deyampert, a civilian physician at the clinic.
“She actually did all the work herself, except for the oven,” said Deyampert.
Adrienne explained that she and her mom carefully followed instructions while following the recipe.
“We got it from our cookbook,” she said.
And how did Adrienne put the cake together?
“With my hands,” she said, displaying them proudly.
Kids of all ages also lined up for the dunk tank and to have their faces painted.
