President’s Corner
Hello ladies,
Looking forward to the cooler weather (hopefully!) this month. We are so excited about our upcoming events- monthly meeting, squadron spouse's brief, playdates, Girls' Night Out! Check out meetup for all the details. Pay particular attention to the VQ-4 Spouse's Brief that will be held Sept 7th at the squadron. This is a great opportunity to hear about resources available at Tinker, learn about the Shadows, and get a tour of the E-6B! CHILDCARE WILL BE PROVIDED!
Where are all of the recipes for our NOSC fundraiser cookbook? Submit them NOW (they were due the 1st!) - we need your help for a successful fundraiser! See below for instructions to add recipes, or just email them to Nicole (ntchandler80@gmail.com) or Erika (erikajepperson@gmail.com).
The VQ-4 Ombudsman, Renee Johnson, has just started a facebook page. Request to join to stay updated on goings- on at the squadron. Contact Renee at 405-831-1456 or at vq-4ombudsman@att.net
Any NOSC members interested in joining the board? We are in need of a fundraiser chair. Let us know if you can help!
Take care,
Katie
