February Newsletter

President’s Corner

Fellow Spouses,

When Tami first suggested holding a meet and greet party this month, I was so excited. What a wonderful idea! Life in the military involves a bit of a revolving door. It will be so nice to gather everyone together for a girls night full of food and fun. The Meet and Greet party will be held on Friday, February 10th at my home. Check the meetup invite for more information. I hope that you can make it!

If you are expecting a little one this spring and have not yet been contacted about the upcoming baby shower, please be sure to let us know! We are excited to celebrate all of our new Shadow mommies! The shower will be held during the afternoon of February 25 - save the date!

Also - we have not forgotten our NOSC cookbook! They will be arriving from the printer shortly and will go on sale as a NOSC fundraiser. Stay tuned!

Cheers!
Katie

January Newsletter

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
