RMI LIAISON OFFICE, USAG-KA, DONATE FURNITURE TO ENNIBURR
In the culmination of months of prepa-
ration, gently used furniture from
Kwajalein’s homes has been repur-
posed on Enniburr.
Tables, dressers, shelving and other
items were transported to the island
from Roi-Namur earlier this month in
a delivery joint-coordinated by the of-
fices of the USAG-KA Host Nation Ac-
tivities and RMI Liaison office.
Purchased over the years with con-
tract funding, the sturdy hardwood
pieces have been utilized in both
Army Family Housing and garrison
bachelor quarters facilities. The ship-
ment also includes furniture for chil-
dren, adults, bedrooms and living
rooms.
The donation is the second phase in
an upcycling of Kwajalein furniture
following the arrival of additional
furniture inventory on the garrison.
Items from an earlier shipment were
utilized in renovated spaces at the
Roi Spartan Transient Housing Fa-
cility this spring. Suitable items from
this initial, large shipment were ear-
marked for donation to Enniburr’s
population.
The donated furniture will provide
new possibilities for storage, comfort
and convenience in its new homes.

a long way to creating a sense of home.

REMINDERS FROM THE CSM
Kwajalein community members should
be courteous to their neighbors in the
bachelor quarters and Army Family
Housing. Here are a few ways to help
keep the peace in your sector.
• Observe quiet hours. Between the
hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. on
weekdays and midnight to 6 a.m. on
Saturdays and Sundays, all island
residents are expected to keep their
noise levels at an optimal, reason-
able level.
• Drink responsibly. When consum-
ing alcohol, please be safe. Do your
best to know your own limits and to
maintain them. If you are struggling
with alcohol, island resources and
counseling are available to help you.
Every time you do your part, you make
Kwajalein a more enjoyable and beautiful
place for us all.
