EA President’s Message 

2008 is under way with the Employee Association continuing 

to provide its over 1,300 members with a wide range 

of social events, professional/personal development seminars, 

and community activities. We had our Annual Installation 

Dinner Meeting featuring a marine hero guest speaker 

from a unit we sponsored under the Adopt-a-Unit program. 

Our “members only” social events included the Great Lakes 

Mall Shopping Day and Splash Party at the Sterling Inn. 

Community activities included Oakland County Special 

Olympics Track & Field competition, Gleaners Food Fight 

for the hungry, coordinating walkers for Cystic Fibrosis 

Walk, Adopt-A-Unit raffles, and entertainment book sales 

for Make-a-Wish Foundation. Professional and Personal 

Development provided timely seminars on Tax Planning, 

Estate Planning, Stock Market Validity, as well as semiannual 

continuing education fairs. Last but not least, Youth 

Activities conducted the annual Youth Scholarship Essay 

Writing Contest providing scholarships to member sophomores, 

juniors, and seniors. Congratulations to the 2008 

scholarship winners. The year is not over, there are many 

more events scheduled for the rest of 2008. 

I am amazed at the number of volunteers who help make 

Employee Association events possible and professional. We 

have a great Board of Directors representing the GDLS facilities 

and Vice Presidents who give their time and talents to 

“make it happen.” In addition to the elected officers, I am 

especially proud of those who are not on the board. Volunteers 

like Carolyn Beyer who lead the Gleaners Food Bank 

effort and Diane Maluzhinsky who coordinated volunteers 

for two Bowl for the Cure bowling fundraiser events as 

well as Mark Jackson, Kurt Alexander, Georgiana Golematis, 

Jack Abbate, and Joe Piva who coordinated volunteers 

for the Cystic Fibrosis Walk. I would like to thank everyone 

who volunteers for EA. 

Do you have ideas on how we can step it up and make 

our programs and events better? The Employee Association 

is always looking for ideas for program and events, 

especially “members only” events. We have a great Board 

but want to hear from you. Please see a facility Director 

with suggestions for making the Employee Association even 

better in 2008. The list of EA Officers can be found on the 

GDLS Portal under Employee Association.

EA Membership Drive 

Would you like to do more charity work? If organizations 

such as Special Olympics, Make-A-Wish, 

Habitat for Humanity sound like organizations 

you would like to help out and have fun doing so, then join 

the GDLS Employee Association (EA). You will have a 

good time with other volunteers while helping those less 

fortunate. Become a part of a dynamic group of people and 

enjoy the ability to participate in a variety of EA Community 

Activities. 

Do you want to increase your knowledge about such 

things as financial and travel planning, trusts, taxes, and 

education fairs but don’t have a lot of time to attend 

day long seminars? The EA Professional Development 

schedules short, after-work sessions to give you up-to-date 

information in those areas. 

If you are looking for something to do while having lots 

of fun, such as ski trips, bus getaways, and golf outings the 

EA Programs area sponsors these events along with many 

other activities. Dinner meetings are also offered to our 

members, which include a social hour, dinner, and a guest 

speaker for the evening. These dinners give our EA members 

a chance to socialize in a relaxed atmosphere with coworkers 

and senior management and have the opportunity 

to listen to interesting speakers on topics that are work and 

non-work related, comic in nature, or for the sports enthusiast. 

Do you have children in high school who are planning 

to attend college? The EA Youth Activities area can help in 

the funding of that college education if your child chooses to 

participate in the annual Scholarship Contest. 

There is also the opportunity to put your skills to practice 

and be part of the GDLSEA Board of Directors. The Board 

is responsible for planning various activities throughout the 

calendar year. Elections are held every year, so become a 

member today. 

Do you want to meet new people outside your immediate 

work space, talk to interesting individuals who share 

common interests? Then join the Employee Association 

today. It is easy to do. You can simply call one of the EA 

Directors located on the EA Portal home page to receive your 

Authorization card. Upon filling the card out and returning it 

to your EA Director, just $1 per week will be automatically 

deducted from your paycheck, for a total of $48 per year. 

GDLS is about more than just your work life. The company 

subsidizes EA activities because it believes everyone 

needs a balanced lifestyle. That is why the Employee Association 

offers a wide variety of activities. As part of the GDLS 

family, the EA also organizes the GDLS’ Annual Family 

Picnic, Adult Holiday Party, and Breakfast with Santa, which 

are open to all employees. Browse through the EA website 

and read our newsletter Landlines to see what we have been 

up too! 

JOIN NOW! and enjoy the many future benefits of 

GDLSEA.

2008 INSTALLATION 

DINNER MEETING 

The 2008 GDLSEA Installation Dinner Meeting 

was conducted February 21st at the Sterling 

Inn. We were honored to have our company 

President, Mr. Dave Heebner, in attendance. We said 

thank-you to those Board Members that ended their 

terms in 2007, and welcome aboard to the new Board 

Members for the 2008-09 term. Recognition Awards 

were given to the outgoing Board: Gary Hermsen, Ed 

Wojnecka and James Heibeck were presented with 

a EA recognition award. Gary for his 7 years as 

the volunteer Editor of the GDLSEA LandLines 

newsletter, and James for his many years as Vice 

President of Finance. We also welcome Meg 

Francis who has replaced Gary as Editor of the Landlines 

newsletter. 

The Board Members installed for the new termwere: 

Roybn Kelly, Meg Francis, Mary Junga, 

Mark Gurchiek, Connie Beckett, Allen Fitzpatrick, 

Lynn Powell, John Mitropetros and Amber Manny. 

The highlight of the evening though was our guest 

speaker, Captain Tim Doran, USMC. Captain Doran 

was the Commander of our adopted unit in Iraq, Bravo 

Company, 2d Tank Battalion, 2d Marine Division. 

The unit was equipped with the M1A1 Abrams 

and their area of operation was in Fallujah from April 

- November 2007. It was very rewarding to hear 

from Captain Doran how well the Abrams performed 

and how highly his men thought of the vehicle and 

how much the insurgents feared the Abrams. Captain 

Doran emphasized that the work being done by 

all members of Team Abrams was making a real difference 

and saving lives everyday! 

Captain Doran presented GDLS with an American 

Flag flown over the unit headquarters in Iraq and 

unit memorabilia as a token of the unit’s appreciation 

for our support through the Adopt-A-Unit project. 

NOTE: The flag and memorabilia have been placed 

in the GDLSEA Display Case outside of the SHC 

Cafetorium. 


Great Lakes Mall Shopping 

Over 120 GDLSEA members attended shopping 

day at Great Lakes Mall in Auburn Hills, MI. 

The event was organized by Jr. Director, Dee Myslakowski, 

from ED&D. Each member who attended 

received a Great Lakes Mall shopping bag along with 

a coupon book for over 70 discount shops and eateries. 

There were many different things to do; some of the 

members children had their hair done with hair pieces 

and crystal jewelry imported from Paris and France. 

Some spent the day shopping from store to store 

checking out Great Lakes Mall, some for the first time 

while others ended up at an eatery. The mall has over 

14 different types of food vendors. Member’s younger 

children were able to ride the carousel or crawl around 

the play center. By the end of the day, it was time to 

just relax, check out all the great buys and have a nice 

cool refreshing drink! Ten lucky winners received a 

$20 credit to help defray the cost of shopping! 

MARK YOUR CALENDARS 

The GDLSEA Golf Outings for 2008 will be held 

on July 18th and September 12th. Mark your 

calendars for those upcoming events. For any 

questions, contact Robyn Kelly at 825-8457 or visit the 

EA website for updates, located on the Portal, under 

the pull down menu. 


Splash Party at Sterling Inn 

The first GDLSEA Annual Splash Party took place 

on Sunday, April 13th with over 80 family members 

attending the occasion. There was a lazy 

river ride, splash slide, water falls and more to keep 

everyone happy. There is a special section for the 

small toddlers and a huge hot tub for adults. Upstairs 

you could walk the trail that let you look over the 

complete pool area, or spend a few pennies in the 

penny arcade. If you got hungry, the snack shop had 

hot pizza along with refreshments and cotton candy. 

Each child or teen received either a beachball, blow 

up fish, seahorse, or guitar to take home after the event. 

The party ran from 1 to 5 p.m. and a lot of families 

just didn’t want to leave. See you next year! 

Windsor Day Bus Trip 

The day trip started off with a bus ride from the 

Meĳer’s parking lot, located at 16 mile and Van 

Dyke, for a small fee of $6. The bus was full with 

55 GDLSEA members and guests taking advantage of 

the day-trip to Windsor. Some went to the Casino, 

where they received a $15 credit voucher to spend 

on lunch. Others went shopping in downtown Windsor, 

while others just spent the time with their friends 

catching up on old times. Free coffee mugs were given 

out to each rider by Diversity Counsel representative, 

Jeanne Schabath, on the way to Windsor. Gift certificates 

to various local establishments were given to 

the members through a drawing on the way back on 

the bus. 

Some members bragged about their winnings at 

the Casino, while others showed their great 

shopping finds. 


WHO HAS THE BOWER…. 

Ron Droste 


Community 

Activities 

On April 11th, 64 members and friends came 

together at Sunnybrook Banquet Center to test 

their Euchre skills with a different partner for 

each of 10 games. The third annual GDLSEA Euchre 

night saw quite an increase in players over the 2007 

crowd. There were many familiar faces from the previous 

years, as well as new participants. It was a well 

organized event managed by Melanie Izokovic of the 

Support Service group of PD&S. There were door 

prizes throughout the night, such as gas cards and gift 

certificates to local stores and restaurants. 

Partners for each game were decided by the draw 

of a poker chip and each player moved about 16 tables 

after the completion of each game. There were various 

levels of the knowledge of the game but the 

night seemed to move at a good pace. At the end 

of the night, Melanie’s crew (Ron Droste and Mary 

Junga) tallied each person’s ten scores to determine the 

winners and the person with the lowest score, who 

was given a token hat to remember the special night! 

1st Place - George Adamson 

($150 gift cert to Lakeside) 

2nd Place - Dave Brown 

($100 gift cert to Meĳer’s) 

Last Place - Don Van Syckel 

(hat depicting this special spot) 

What a day it was! The weather was a little 

dreary; however, the spirits of the athletes 

of the Special Olympics of Oakland County 

were beaming. A group of seven volunteered to help 

out with the 50 meter and 100 meter dash. The enthusiasm 

of the athletes was astounding. Some of these 

athletes were 60 and 70 years old. Our volunteers were 

amazed at the energy all athletes had. Prior to breaking 

for lunch, the coordinator (+50 something) decided 

that the volunteers should attempt to race each other 

in the 100 meter. As the participants lined up; three 

young girls from the west side of town, a 20 something 

young man and yours truly. Runners take your mark, 

get ready, set and go. From the moment the whistle 

was blown, yours truly was in the lead up until the 50 

meter mark. I did not win, however, I had an excuse. I 

was running with three pound workboots. I could not 

get the feet moving fast enough. 

The next meet was the Macomb County Special 

Olympics. It always is a blessing to have a day with 

sunshine just like the sunny smiles of the athletes. Once 

again, this year’s 13 volunteers helped out with Bocce 

Ball competition. Everyone enjoyed the time spent with 

all of the athletes. 

If you were unable to help this year, I strongly 

encourage you to consider helping out with these 

events in the future. I would also like to thank all of 

this year’s volunteers and hope that the events were a 

blessing to all of you. 

50/50 tickets were sold by Duck Kelly, Robyn’s husband, 

throughout the night with the charity selection 

being the winner’s choice. Joe Verbic was the winner, 

as well as the American Cancer Society, that will be 

receiving $285. Thanks to all that participated. 

The food fare was excellent with enough hors 

d’oeuvres and desserts to make a meal. For anyone 

interested in setting up a party, Sunnybrook has a 

nice room and the food is very good and the price is 

reasonable. 

At the end of the night, many repeated the sentiments 

of those last year - we need to do this more than 

one time a year! Great job to Melanie and her crew! 


Gleaners “Food Fight” Drive 

Ron Droste, Vice President Community Activities, 

and Carolyn Beyer, ED&D, CAD Engineer, 

who was responsible for the recent 2008 “Food 

Fight” contest, shown below displaying artwork given 

to the Employee Association from the Gleaners Community 

Food Bank of Southeastern Michigan. The artwork, 

done by Jean Francois Millet’s, depicting “The 

Gleaners” (1857) gleaning, gathering the grain left in 

the field by the reapers, is the Gleaners symbol for 

turning the problem of food waste into a solution for 

hunger. Gleaners distributes over 2 million pounds of 

food each month to more than 400 agencies that are the 

direct providers to our hungry neighbors in southeastern 

Michigan. 

Adopt-A-Unit 

A 

New Year and more Care Package shipments

ACR. On 4 March 2008 a group of volunteers 

got together and packed 30 boxes @700 lbs of donated 

items for Dragon Company. 

Entertainment Books 

Entertainment Book sales are really going great. 

Recently, I found out that the 2008 Entertainment 

Book contains over $19,900.00 in savings. 

When you purchase the 2009 Entertainment Book you 

get the 2008 book free. The 2008 book is good through 

November 1, 2008. DO NOT WAIT ANY LONGER 

BECAUSE THERE ARE ONLY ABOUT 100 BOOKS 

LEFT!! Visit their website www.entertainment.com for 

more details. 

Recently Habitat for Humanity was contacted and 

I am looking for two co-leaders who would take on this 

project for Macomb County. The informational packet 

is available, so if you feel that you have been blessed 

with leadership skills please contact Ron Droste 

at 825-7602. 

8 LANDLINES - GDLS EMPLOYEE ASSOCIATION NEWSLETTER - June 2008 

I want to start by apologizing for not getting back 

to you much sooner. The Company has been on the 

move for the past few months and fielding new equipment 

right in the middle (MRAP). We are now in the 

process of settling back in, here at FOB Q-West for a 

second time. We are now the QRF for the Regiment 

by land and Air. Once we returned here it was great 

surprise to have all that stuff waiting for us here at 

Q-west. We received all the boxes and the 2 laptops. 

The men and myself appreciated it greatly. All of the 

items were passed out and the laptops were put to use 

on day one of our return. 

Again, Thank you and everyone at GDLS for again 

coming through for us when we really needed it.

Financial Education 

Seminars 

Personal & Professional Development kicked off 

its 2008 season by hosting a series of financial 

planning seminars. All three seminars were well 

attended, and the GDLSEA members received some 

valuable information. Thomas E. Smith, Jr. from Ameriprise 

Financial Services located in Troy, Michigan, 

began the series on January 24, 2008 by discussing “The 

Retirement Income You Want: Plan For It Today.” 

The series continued with Kristen R. Gross of Shea 

Law Firm located in Southfield, Michigan. She conducted 

an excellent seminar entitled “Estate Planning 

101: Protect Your Family and Yourself with the Proper 

Estate Plan” on February 13th. Kristen addressed such 

topics as: When should you consider having a Will or 

Trust? What is Probate? and What Happens If I Do Not 

Create an Estate Plan? 

Bill Thomas of The Hantz Group located in Shelby 

Township, Michigan, concluded the series with “Tax 

Planning Basics” on March 5th. He discussed Distributions, 

Traditional IRAs vs. Roth IRAs, Tax Credits/ 

Deferrals and Marginal Tax Brackets. 

These seminars were FREE and open to GDLSEA 

members only and their spouses.

50th Wedding Anniversary 

At a weekly husband’s marriage seminar, the Priest 

asked Luigi, who was approaching his 50th wedding 

anniversary, to take a few minutes and share 

some insight into how he had managed to stay married to the 

same woman all these years. 

Luigi replied to the assembled husbands, ‘Well, I’ve 

tried to treat her nice, spend the money on her, but best of all 

is that I took her to Italy for our 20th anniversary!’ 

The Priest responded, ‘Luigi, you are an amazing inspiration 

to all the husbands here! Please tell us what you are 

planning for your wife for your 50th anniversary.’ 

Luigi proudly replied, ‘I’ma gonna go and get her.’ 

Best Caddy Comebacks. 

Golfer: Think I’m going to drown myself in the lake. 

Caddy: Think you can keep your head down that long? 

Golfer: I’d move heaven and earth to break 100 on this 

course. 

Caddy: Try heaven, you’ve already moved most of the 

earth. 

Golfer: Do you think my game is improving? 

Caddy: Yes sir, you miss the ball much closer now. 

Golfer: Do you think I can get there with a 5 iron? 

Caddy: Eventually. 

Golfer: Please stop checking your watch all the time. It’s 

too much of a distraction. 

Caddy: It’s not a watch - it’s a compass. 

Golfer: Do you think it’s a sin to play on Sunday? 

Caddy: The way you play, sir, it’s a sin on any day. 

Golfer: This is the worst course I’ve ever played on. 

Caddy: This isn’t the golf course. We left that an hour ago.
