Tyndall's 325th Force Support Squadron welcomes base residents and visitors alike to attend its featured programs throughout these fall and winter seasons. The Air Force Services Activity has been working with Force Support Squadrons across the Air Force to provide recreational services to installation service members and their dependents.

"One of the main objectives is to bolster the AF club programs, sign up new members and remind current members about the value of being a member," said Kathleen Turmelle, Tyndall Clubs Manager. "Each program has a specific grand prize that can be won by a club member."

Programs include the Football Frenzy, Family Frenzy and Fight Night Frenzy.

The Football Frenzy Kickoff will begin Sept. 10 at 5 p.m. and will continue every Thursday and Sunday. Club member participants and their families can expect to view free games and partake in the Kickoff Buffet offered by the Tyndall Club. Non-members may attend and pay for the buffet. The Air Force Services Activity will be giving away a grand prize to 20 club members Air Force wide.

Club members can enter for a chance to win two regular season tickets to an NFL game of their choice for the 2016 season at each Football Frenzy event starting on Sept. 13. This prize will be awarded on Friday, Feb. 19, 2016.

Fight Night Frenzy is scheduled to continue with its last two fights on Sept. 5 with Johnson vs. Dodson and Oct. 3 with Cormier vs. Gustafsson.

"This program is designed to reach today's Airmen and provide a higher level of entertainment (a paid UFC Fight) for their morale and enjoyment." said Kathleen Turmelle.

This event will also include food and drink specials available for members and non-members. All Club Members are eligible to win the Air Force Services Activity Grand Prize which is a trip for two to a live UFC fight in Las Vegas. The prize will be awarded on Friday, Oct. 30.

The next Family Frenzy will be Sept. 8 at 5:30 p.m. with a Kids Back to School theme. Themes for the summer season included Take Me Out to the Ballgame, Dog Days of Summer, and Hollywood Nights. The program offers games, prizes, and other child activities. Dinner buffet is open to all and Club member kids ages 10 and under can eat for free. Club members can also enter to win a $50 Gift Card at the event.  The Air Force Services Activity will be giving away the Grand Prize October 30, 2015.  Members can enter at the upcoming Family Frenzy to win this trip to Disney (1 winner + 3 guests).

The Tyndall Club will host these three programs at the Oasis Sports Lounge at the Horizons Community Center.
