LUKE OFFICERS’ SPOUSES’ CLUB OCTOBER 2013!
https://www.facebook.com/groups/LukeOSC/
Hello Luke OSC!
I am so excited to officially be your President for the 2013-2014 OSC year! The year is off to a great start and it’s only going to get better.
A huge thank you to 56th Medical Group spouses for hosting our September social. Bowling was a blast and we welcomed six new members! I didn’t know we had such great bowlers among us!
We have some great events coming up! Mark your calendars for our next social on October 15. We will be having a wine tasting at Falcon Dunes Golf Course, hosted by Maintenance Group spouses! Also, we have started gearing up for the holidays so mark your calendars now for our annual Airmen Cookie Drive on December 5 and our Wreath and Tree Event on December 10.
In keeping with the purpose of our organization, we are always looking for ways to give back to our community. Check out page 5 to volunteer to make meals for either Oasis (for our Airmen here at Luke) or to make meals for the Ronald McDonald House. Both are rewarding experiences that really help both Luke and the greater Phoenix area.
A huge thank you to our OSC board and members that make being a part of the Luke OSC so fun and such a great organization.
Looking forward to seeing everyone on October 15!
