President’s Corner
Dear Spouses,
Happy New Year from the  NOSC! I'd like to give another big thank you to those NOSC members who  were so helpful with the Children's Christmas party. We had several  people help sort gifts from Santa/plan crafts for the children,  volunteers at the party who helped tremendously, and lots of bakers who  made delicious treats for the event. We can't do it without you - THANK  YOU!
Please note the following change to the organization of the NOSC  bookclub. Starting in January, the hostess  will choose the book for monthly book club meetings. This is a great  opportunity to read the book you've been saving! We are seeking  hostesses for February and beyond. Please drop us a line if you are  willing/able to host, and let us know which book you'd like to read!
Take care,
Katie
