D uring Spring of 2022, Harriet R. Tub- man Chapter #190 held their 3rd Spring Inter- national Bazaar. The Harriet R.

“ We strive to create not just an opportunity for our community to shop for treasures from all over, but to also stage an event in which the com- munity has an opportunity to shine in service and volunteer support, ” DDG W M Dee Dimond. Every year the bazaar continues to exceed expectations and raise the standards for everyone to follow. Harriet R. Tubman #190’ s portion of those sales is dispersed directly into the local community, and those proceeds are exponential blessings to the families that are assisted. The Spring Bazaar was open to all US ID card- holders, NATO Forces, Civilians and Reservists with TDY orders.

Tubman Chapter #190 Spring Bazaar draws in more than 80 vendors from around the European Union, and the bazaar serves more than 10,000 customers in a 4 - day time frame. The event aver- ages over $900K in gross sales. The Stuttgart Ba- zaar has grown to be one of the largest among the overseas American Military Bases, and Harriet R. Tubman Chapter #190 has contributed signifi- cantly to the growth. As part of their growth plan, this year the Chapter reached out to the local community and collaborated with D9 organizations, allowing the service organizations to increase their possibili- ties for scholarships, outreach, and service hours. The D9 organizations continue to have a positive impact in the surrounding communities, and Har- riet R. Tubman #190 is excited to being able to facilitate many more opportunities for their par- ticipation.

“ The event averages around $900K in gross sales. Our portion of those sales is directly dis- persed into the local community .”
