LAUGHLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- Job title and unit: Club XL, Laughlin Club Operations manager and staff

Why they XLed: Club XL collaborated with the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office for the first "Texas Hold'em Poker Tournament" to help make the event a success. The club saved the event by providing poker chips, tables, and prizes in an expedient manner when the contractor fell through. While being contracted to support a baby shower the club staff decorated the room beyond expectations and provided top notch service. Club XL also supported the SAPR Training Summit for 13 agencies, where their food was lauded by Headquarters Air Force Senior Executive Service as exceptional.
