Spring seems to become a busy season very quickly around here. We start off with the Annual Spring Bazaar and then it seems things just roll into so many activities.

If you haven’t attended an Easter Market, I think that should be on your bucket list. The eggs are beautiful! The details that the artist paint are unbelievable.

Fruhlingsfest is approaching fast, I hope everyone has their tickets. I am sure it will be lots of fun.

Speaking of Fruhlingsfest, that is the theme for our next monthly function. This is our Bingo event, but instead of all crystal, we are changing things up and doing “European” Bingo. If you haven’t made your reservation you need to do it quickly! And don’t forget to wear your drindle or lederhosen.

At the April event, we will also be voting on our incoming Executive Board. It looks like a great group of spouses that are dedicated and willing to go the extra mile for the club.

I really hope to see you at the April event winning some of those Awesome Bingo prizes that Elisa and her team have been shopping for all year!

Thank you for all you do!Nan

Happy Spring!

On behalf of the SCSC Membership/Reservations and its committee, we would just like to say thank you so much to all of our wonderful members - all 389 - who continued to support the SCSC mission in providing information and support to Americans living in the Stuttgart area through social venues and to give financial contributions back to our military community. Ladies and Gentlemen - you are the best of the best!

Unfortunately, the deadline to become a member of the SCSC closed on March 1, 2017. We will be sure to notify each and every one of you when the 2017 - 2018 SCSC membership opens.

The good news is that we still have two (2) huge events - Fruhlingsfest Bingo and the Volunteer Appreciation Tea Party - left this year for our current members! Yeah! We sure to RSVP early for these events, as the seats are limited!

To say thank you for all that you do, these last two events will be for members only. No guests will be allowed, to include spouses who are not current members of the SCSC.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me at scsc.memberships@gmail.com.We hope that everyone had a great Spring Break!
