We are still in healing mode as we try to move forward and continue the work that this Little girl started - Fila Service Crew - 10 Beautiful babies and all in the greatest homes possible!




Fila Service Crew has been hit with a devastating blowOur Matriarch, “Dainy” {AKA “Daddy’s Girl”, “Dainy Girl” & several other nick names…} passing yesterday, so for the time being all Marley Station’s MeetUps are canceled until further notice. As We recover We ask you to be patient with Us, We will post more info on MeetUp & blogspot as We sort through Our loss. Thank you.
 

We are still in forward motion, but as we all know sometimes life interrupts things...just got one baby better for another to become ill...so slowly and assuredly FORWARD is the way to go! See you at the Beach!

Stay Tunned for more events, but, in the mean while... 
A sad story to say the least regarding our pack Matriarch; however, we are coming back strong after the holidays. which brings me to a huge Thank You to all who sent the cards and gifts. We didn't know how much we were loved until we lost... We also want to thank you for your patience while we recovered...we still ran and still are running Fila's Flying Finger's along with the Official Opening of the Pet Food Pantry. 
After all you all have done I hate to ask but some one has to...


Seeing that the Pet Food Pantry is Officially Open and ready to receive donations and requests for aid… a few updates and needs on our blogspot pages...the first largest need with the cold weather setting in is FOOD...both wet/canned & dry both dog and cat...See Our Amazon wish list
http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/ref=wish_list } Things may be cheaper elsewhere but through amazon they deliver directly to us… or contact us and we can make a pick up or arrange for delivery.
Thank You in Advance for your holiday gifts!
More Donations are NEEDED...Both Cat and Dog... NO NYLABONE Please...



ATTENTION ALL SHOOTERS:

Very easy to get to…starting at 695 >>> exit 15B>>> follow loop around>>> 3 Lights >>> left lane for immediate U turn into “Midas” Lot and you are there! If you park on Midas level you will need to go to the rear of lot and down the steps … If you choose … go BEHIND Midas and down the hill and there is VIP Parking No stairs! See you all tomorrow – I am wondering who is getting a 3 digit [before the decimal point prize and the other 2] Guess if you want to know have to go! Hugs US!



We are still A GO! For Billiards and stay tuned for  future announcements of new things such as Beach Party – volley ball, swimming, wind surfing, and a slew of other things on that day! Our future is looking like a Car Wash Day and a weekend warrior Day…explanations as time draws near to those events!

Unfortunately due to some "Members" not participating or keeping in contact with Us We are going to have to make some deletes and rearrangements. On MeetUp.com platform they automatically delete members on ALL groups for inactivity for 6 months or if your email is invalid. We are making these deletions/decisions in order to keep Our Services available to those that need Us and Our Help - We do not have the time for people that simply want a prestige title of being a member of a NonProfit/Charitable Organization. So Sorry to have to do this but with all of the upcoming events, the opening of the Pet Food Pantry, The Engineering Department getting geared up for more extended services there is just no time for folks that don't really want to be here. Once again, I am so Sorry but Fila Service Crew's best interest along with member and clients is TOP PRIORITY! Thanks for your understanding.



Let's Shoot Some Pool!

Due to the $ amount we are deciding on which it should be... Door Prize?? or Raffle???

Ok…PART of the rest of the story... first - the delivery of toys - the breakdown of the truck that delivered - the family that helped to restart the truck gave US a thank you note that actually should have gone to 1st Lt/Councilman Smith - when he read the note and I told him it was from her, pointing at the neighbor, he, mister big tough Marine was visibly moved - invited her to the back of the truck and as he opened the tailgate {that very second} saying help your self - the truck miraculously started and the U-Haul tow truck showed up and the thank you note read "If not for you our kids would have nothing! Thank you the Byrons"

Christmas is a time of magical events and happenings – this is one of those magical moments especially for that family – the truck broke down long enough to get that family a little more ‘magic’ into theirs and their kids life! The United States Marine Corp. rarely if ever get the recognition they deserve for all the joy & magic they bring to the less fortunate children and parents of Our Communities.

Here are a few Pics ---there are more on the way due to Nat F, along with US making the delivery rounds we both took pics and Nat got some video…… The last family we delivered to even gifted us … Our Special needs Foster Parents were thankful and thrilled that We did this and included them. Mark got a binky and I got French Lavender body assortment. Thank You Ruth L and the entire family. That was an unexpected and unnecessary blessing to US! Stay tuned – more to follow – not all deliveries have been made yet…still 7 more families to go that will receive theirs later today or tomorrow…
We also received a much needed donation of $50 for Fila Service Crew – thank you – you know who you are!
AMAZING!!! Toys for Tots - Councilman & First Lieutenant Peter I. Smith made the delivery this evening. 34 Boys 23 girls and their families + a last minute 3 children will be having a very MERRY CHRISTMAS! Peter saw 2 of the families tonight as they received their children’s goodies... It is funny how the delivery truck would not start after the drop was made - even with a jump...the truck would NOT start! Not until after the 1st delivery was made a few doors down and that family's mom came to Our door to drop off a 'thank you' card... while that family’s' dad tried to help start the truck I carried the note out to Councilman/1st Lt. Smith... well you are going to have to wait for the rest of that story until official posting - after all deliveries are made and pics uploaded and down loaded and all the NEWS is in! Merry Christmas From Us and Our Crew to ALL of You and Yours ~ Merry Christmas!

Tuesday, October 16th, 2012:

Attendance total: 7 Bipeds & 3 Quadrupeds.

Josh M., Billie N., Natalie & “E” F., Mark D w/ Sox – later switched Tunnie, Gina D    w/ Sarge. Later, a surprise visit from Councilman Peter Smith.


Set up at 4 PM – several folks got stuck working late, Batt & Barbara, Belinda, our neighbor up the road and Josie B. … Mary J. sent a text apologizing for being unable to attend due to a church class… After set up was complete I took some pictures and we all tried to wait for the late comers, we began the meeting when time for a break came with the arrival of Peter Smith. He offered us to participate in the “Toys for Tots” program for our clients and members. We need to get him a count of ages and boys and girls by the first week of December. We had Mark’s birthday to celebrate along with Barb’s on the 18th, we had a cake for her too but being stuck at work seems like Mark gets her cake too.
We covered the breakdown of 2nd & 3rd quarter books: We continued with a group decision of when and what time the “Special Edition” meetings should be held. I do not think that the middle of the weekday’s is a good time, but Mark does – Natalie feels it should be held on one of our off Saturdays, and Josh thinks scheduling it moths in advance would be the preferred way to go – that way everyone will have advanced notice and will be able to schedule things around it…

Day’s On-Goings:
Unfortunately, although I set the alarm I never turned it on! What a mess I am. Thanks to Our faithful Mary J. She arrived as scheduled at Our place and got us moving! We arrived at Gunpowder approximately 10:30 A.M. and set up. Being it the first time for several of Our folks Our cell was busy getting everyone found and in place. Several arrived at the same time as we did, rounded the loop a couple of times before finding the right lot – so many new changes have been made to the area – a REAL Boat House has been put in, in place of the old concrete concessions building – very NICE! Several arrived a bit later; several that arrived early left early but we also had several arrive later – as a matter of fact to show how much Our Folks love Us – they battled traffic, bad GPS directions and did some “Low Flying” to get to Us. Dear, dear Natalie and Lil’ Man “E” arrived just at dusk…in time to witness the cops throwing Us out! She also helped with the break down and clean up. Thanks go out to her as well.
Sox was his usual grumpy self – I guess I would too if I had to ride the last 3 minutes with a loaded cooler on my back. We can never keep Tootz and Sox out of the water bowl or baby pool at home – for the very first time they had a bowl they couldn’t tip over. At first they weren’t sure what to make of it all but once SamWise & Chance showed that the movement of the waves wouldn’t kill them they both readily went in and gradually went deeper… We didn’t get the opportunity for a real swim together but waist deep was good for starters seeing it was a nice cool day. Chance was in his glory playing fetch in and out of those “huge” waves LOL.  
Over all the day was a HUGE Success! We believe everyone had plenty enough to eat, drink and hopefully loads of fun – I know We did even having to do so much bouncing to get to spend time with each and every one in attendance. 
Our deepest and warmest thanks go out to all of you; especially Batt for playing chef 75% of the cooking time; to him and Barbara for their contribution of all the burgers and dogs; to Ruth L and all the girls for their mac and potato salad contributions; to all of Our Friends, supporters and contributors from The Centre at Glen Burnie & Marley Station Mall in A. A. County and beyond…
Thank You, THANK YOU ALL so very much.

Fila Service Crew also is geared to help OUR Veterans – those that have become disabled {*Handi-Capable} defending our rights. So, WE do hope that ALL of you will join us as we join the “ROLLING THUNDER®”decent on DC and Virginia to make the importance of Our troops known to the world.

In visiting with “ROLLING THUNDER®” this year – maybe for next, 2013, “ROLLING THUNDER® XXVI”Fila Service Crew will be able to join forces with them to support and play more active role. For this year’s event all spaces are taken; however, it is time to plan now for then!

Crew Members Meeting - For coverage of 1st quarter...Plus!
Due to the overwhelming 'Public' response at our regular MeetUp's we have been unable to hold actual meetings to have the discussions of topics necessary - so we have decided that a "REAL" meeting needs to take place. Brooklyn Park Library is allowing us the use of their facilities - the meeting will be open to the public and member recruitment; however, there we will get to the topics that we have been unable to get to for the past several MeetUp's; information on our first quartly operation and any other issues that need to be addressed.
We have yet set a date but want to hear from you as to what day and time would be convenient for all to attend. SO Date still pending and to come shortly!
Thanks and See you there
