The Atlas Oil "Family", put on a fabulous event for the marines at Selfridge Airforce Base. Shown here receiving 2 awards on behalf of the marines, Atlas Oil goes far beyond dollars and cents to make a difference in the communities they serve. For these operators, giving back doesn't mean writing a check. It's about making lasting connections. Through their charitable arm, Atlas Cares, this year's holiday party brought together more than 250 Marines, 100 family members and 100 volunteers for an afternoon of fun that included food, music, decorations, gifts from Santa, raffle and prizes and more.
Every good party needs music and thanks must go out to Simone Vitale who brought his 10 piece orchestra to play for 4 hours for the troops. Soldiers as well as family enjoyed singing, dancing and moving to the music. Simone's band did an excellent job and choose the perfect music for the afternoon!
Atlas Oil provided a table so the kids could decorate cookies and ornaments. They also provided face painting and Shutterbooth provided a photo booth for everyone to enjoy taking pictures home. The raffle was enjoyed by all especially by those who won gift cards and electronic gifts
Marines have a history. They have fought in every engagement the USA has ever been involved in. They are the presidents guard. Marines have a tradition. Marines never surrender. Marines do not leave their dead on the battlefield. Marines have honor. Marines die for that honor. Marines are Americans in the highest sense. Marines guard the gates of Heaven. I am in Heaven right now!
Thank you Miniature Motorways for providing the slot cars. Everyone enjoyed racing them.
Minature Motorways also provided a tank game that was enjoyed by children as well as adults.
The room was a sea of camouflage. The Simone Vitale band kept everyone singing and dancing and moving. 
No party would be complete without a visit from Santa Clause.
