Happy November Spouses!

It seems like this year is flying. I know it seems like that every year, but this year it seems especially true.

The wine tasting in October was an absolute blast. I hope everyone found a new favorite wine for the upcoming holidays! A very special thank you to Linda Mora and the Maintenance Group Spouses that hosted that very fun event.

Please remember to mark your calendars for two upcoming OSC events that are sure to get you in the holiday spirit! First, please join us and bring everyone you know to our shopping extravaganza on November 19 at Club 56. This event, hosted by the 62nd and 310th Fighter Squadron Spouses is open to ALL spouses and members of the community and is sure to make a dent on your Christmas shopping list. We will have vendors from all over the Valley and will be raffling off some great giveaways! Check out page 3 for more details!

In addition, our annual Wreath & Tree Raffle will be held on December 10 at 11:00 am at Club 56. This is another event that is open to the entire Luke community and friends. Please start saving the date for this important event now, as it is one of our biggest and MOST FUN fundraisers of the year!

Finally, I hope you and your families have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I am very thankful for each and every one of you, for the friendship you have given me, and for the way our organization makes Luke AFB feel like home.

Gobble Gobble!

My name is Holly Walker, and I am excited to be serving with so many wonderful women on the LOSC board. It is such a privilege to be a part of an organization with such heritage and pride for our U.S. Air Force. My husband, Joe “Ranger” Walker, is assigned to the 309th FS, and we are so thankful to be a part of this great flying community. We are blessed with two beautiful daughters. Our oldest, Katie, is four and loves going to ballet, preschool, and flying with her daddy on the weekends. Caroline is our busy nine month old who is just discovering that she can crawl. They are full of life and bring us tremendous joy!
