President’s Pen Welcome to the beginning of the 2015-2016 Camp Lejeune Officers’ Spouses’ Club year! We have a wonderful and exciting year ahead of us. The OSC has a long standing history of fostering a comfortable atmosphere of camaraderie, support and community involvement. This history will continue with the traditional activities we look forward to each year as well as new activities to insure our organization offers something for everyone. Our calendar is packed with day and evening events that support our mission statement. Socially our events such as, luncheons, Happy Hours and sub-clubs, encourage our members to network and build friendships. Charitably we use the time, talents and energy of members to enhance the greater Camp Lejeune area. Generously we raise money that goes into the Philanthropic Fund, which supports local organizations with monetary donations and awards students and spouses with college scholarships based on both merit and academic excellence. Each one of these aspects of the OSC builds the unique camaraderie among military spouses and the lifelong friendships we will come to treasure. The year will begin with Welcome Aboard, followed by Oktoberfest, Fall Craft Fair and Tour of Homes. In the spring we will have our annual Basket Bingo and Spring Craft Fair. This year we will be hosting the Joint Luncheon which allows all the OSCs in the area to come together for a wonderful afternoon. The sub-clubs and monthly luncheons will be outstanding as always. Get your calendars out so you don’t miss out on all these wonderful events! Our Elected Board, members of the Executive Board and dedicated volunteers have been working all summer planning the upcoming year. Welcome Aboard will kick off 2015-2016 with “Hitting the High Notes”. We invite everyone to come see how they can Hit the High Notes with the OSC! It is an honor and a privilege to be serving the OSC this year as President. I look forward to getting to know each of you and Hitting the High Notes together! Sincerely,

Stephanie Williams 2015-2016 OSC President
