President’s Corner
Spouses,
December is upon us already! Happy Holidays!
Please help us make Christmas a bit brighter for the deployed VQ-4 crews. We are preparing stockings for each crew member, and we are seeking donations from the NOSC. Thank you in advance for your generosity. See the 12/1 email for information about drop off locations, or contact us at shadownosc@yahoo.com.
We are getting excited for the Squadron Christmas party on Thursday, 12/8. Looking forward to seeing you there! Also, please save the date for the Children's Christmas party on Saturday, 12/17. Santa will be visiting the children and bringing gifts! There will be many volunteer opportunities associated with this party - shoppers, bakers, craft/game workers, and volunteers to expedite for Santa. We can't wait!
Take care,
Katie
