00:02.340 --> 00:05.400
- We are baking cookies for
the cookie caper on base.

00:05.400 --> 00:10.233
Personally about a good
two or three dozen each.

00:13.690 --> 00:16.752
- The cookie caper is open
to all uniform personnel

00:16.752 --> 00:20.560
at Goodfellow Air Force Base
and it's just one of the ways

00:20.560 --> 00:24.503
that the Goodfellow's
spouses club gives back.

00:26.910 --> 00:29.250
The cookie caper is a goodwill gesture

00:29.250 --> 00:30.733
for everyone at Goodfellow.

00:31.570 --> 00:34.820
Besides that it's just a fun
way to celebrate the holiday.

00:34.820 --> 00:37.440
I always think of baking
as a fun holiday tradition.

00:37.440 --> 00:39.520
I remember doing it with
my mom and my grandma

00:39.520 --> 00:40.520
when I was little.

00:40.520 --> 00:43.280
Make a point to do it
with my boys every year.

00:43.280 --> 00:45.430
So to be able to share that tradition

00:45.430 --> 00:47.690
with everyone at Goodfellow
especially the students

00:47.690 --> 00:50.704
who may be away from
home, far from family,

00:50.704 --> 00:53.304
just a fun holiday thing to do.

00:53.304 --> 00:56.721
(workers talking loudly)

00:59.174 --> 01:01.190
We couldn't do it alone.

01:01.190 --> 01:03.960
We're so thankful to all
the spouses at Goodfellow

01:03.960 --> 01:08.060
that baked, the local
businesses that donated,

01:08.060 --> 01:10.280
the schools that encouraged their students

01:10.280 --> 01:12.170
to send notes in the bags of cookies

01:12.170 --> 01:13.890
for the service members.

01:13.890 --> 01:17.040
The churches, the community leaders

01:17.040 --> 01:20.640
who got their friends involved
and everyone made donations

01:20.640 --> 01:22.290
and spent their days making cookies.

01:22.290 --> 01:23.790
It really does take a village.

01:24.950 --> 01:27.070
A cookie caper is a big thing here

01:27.070 --> 01:30.650
and it's not just the Goodfellow
Spouses Club doing it.

01:30.650 --> 01:33.610
It really does take the
whole San Angelo community.

01:33.610 --> 01:36.527
(fast piano music)

01:40.563 --> 01:42.527
- You get one.

01:42.527 --> 01:45.444
(fast piano music)

01:46.400 --> 01:49.290
- We definitely want
everyone to feel as though

01:49.290 --> 01:51.950
this is a little piece
of home away from home.

01:51.950 --> 01:53.310
We feel that this is just a little piece

01:53.310 --> 01:55.653
of a thank you for you guys to all enjoy.
