Season of giving extends throughout the year at top of the world
Master Sgt. Chester Spires, 821st Air Base Group first sergeant, prepares to have his head shaved by Staff Sgt. Jerry Chandler, 821st Security Forces Squadron, as part of a fundraising event at the Julemand Festival here Nov. 17. The festival is an annual event that is part of Operation Julemand -- the Danish word for Santa Claus -- the base's largest charity drive. The operation raises money to buy Christmas gifts for children in the surrounding villages. From head shaving to a 'Thule Idol' contest, the festival raised more than $7,000.
