October Newsletter

President’s Corner

Hello,

Happy fall! Stay tuned for lots of events coming up with the NOSC - playdates, nights out, fundraisers, etc. Much like the chili fundraisers in the past, we will begin selling lunches at the squadron once a month beginning in November. Stay tuned for dates as we will need volunteers to sell food as well as cook!

Speaking of cooking, if you haven't yet submitted your recipes, it is NOT too late, but you are running out of time. We need your help! Recipes should be submitted here. (Contributor: your name, Group Login: ShadowNOSC, Password: shadow) or email/give them to Erika (erikajepperson@gmail.com) or Nicole (ntchandler80@gmail.com).

You may have noticed that Sunday night dinners have dropped off in recent weeks. This is because we don't have any volunteers! :( If your spouse will be out of town or on watch, plan ahead to have some families over. You can choose to provide dinner or to host a potluck. "The more we get together, the happier we'll be!"

Cheers,
Katie
