ANNOUNCEMENTS

Effective on 1 May 2013 the RAF Lakenheath GSA Store will be closing its doors. RAF Lakenheath is moving away from the "GSA store" model due to cost effectiveness and manning concerns. Items sold are available at the GSA advantage catalog and online store. Customers are encouraged to take advantage of the assets currently in stock at the RAF Lakenheath store, since most of them are available at heavily discounted prices .Questions or concerns in regards to this matter can be directed to MSgt Daniel Guzman at 226-2598/5471 or daniel.guzman@lakenheath.af.mil.


A11 construction and closure times

A full carriageway closure of B1112, 24 hours per day will last for approximately 18 months. There will be no access from the A11 onto the B1112, but access to local businesses and residents will be possible from both the A1065 and the A1101. There will also be a temporary speed restriction of 40mph on the sections of B1112, which will be accessible for residents and businesses for the safety of road users and the work force.

American Red Cross offering Healthy Pregnancy, Healthy Baby course

The American Red Cross Healthy Pregnancy, Health Baby course provides basic information on what to expect during labor, including how to know if you are in labor, information on your choices, variations and complications in labor and birth. They also offer question and answer sessions with the Anesthesiology Department regarding epidurals (when their schedule permits) and Infant CPR training in conjunction with the course.

This class is recommended for parents in the third trimester (around 32 weeks) and is suggested before the labor rehearsal class offered through Labor and Delivery at the hospital. It is offered free-of-charge and is held one Saturday a month for six hours.
