Most of us over age 10 know that more joy comes from giving than from re- ceiving. This time of year brings many opportunities for charity, caring and self- less service to others. We have much to be proud of as an organization, as we have certainly been in the giving spirit this season. The reality is that our club has two main purposes. The first being a social net- working club that helps spouses meet and cultivate friendships by conducting a variety of different social activities. The second, but no less important, is our philan- thropy. I would like to take a few moments to comment on this second rewarding pur- pose. It is very easy to become so wrapped up in luncheons, newsletters and bazaars that we occasionally lose sight of why exactly we do what we do as a club. Our Welfare Committee recently awarded over twenty thousand dollars to charitable organizations in our community. This money will help ensure these organi- zations can carry out their Fort Hood Officers’ Spouses Club P.O.

LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS!
On the 9th of February at the Membership Luncheon a skit based on THE BASIC BLACK DRESS by Alice H. Rice will be performed
We are looking for actresses, a narrator, and a director to help put this production together. Anyone who has participated in, or seen this play is welcome to contact me to share their ideas!!!!
Luncheon RSVP Policy Reservations end at NOON on the Wed
prior to the luncheon. Once reservations
are closed the google forms will no longer
accept responses.
Cancellations need to made by NOON
on the Wednesday prior to the luncheon or
you will still be held financially responsible
for the meal.
The reason for these policies is that OSC
has to turn in our meal numbers to Club
Hood in advance of the luncheon so they
can order and prepare enough meals and
set up enough places. OSC has to pay for
the meals whether they are eaten or not.
Half year/Permanent Reserva-
tions: Members with half year/permanent
reservations will still need to fill out the
google form. If you do not fill out a form,
you will automatically be ordered the first
meal choice. If you cancel by the deadline you
will not be held financial responsible. Half
Year will get four luncheons (September, Oc-
tober, November & December). Half year/
Permanent reservations can receive a credit
for any luncheon not attended, if you cancel in
time. Refunds will be issued at the May lunch-
eon to those who have a credit balance.
Check-in at the luncheons will begin at
10:30am. Please allow us time to set every-
thing up before coming to the table. We want
to be able to say hi and give everyone the
courtesies they deserve.
Luncheons cost $15 and can be paid for
with cash, check or charge. $25 is the mini-
mum amount that can be charged. There is an
ATM in the Club but it is not always working.
Dear OSC members,
We just want to take a moment and
explain the OSC luncheon reservation
policy and the reason behind it:
A google form will be emailed out three
weeks prior to a every luncheon. It will
allow you to make your reservation and
meal choice. You can also make a reserva-
tion for a guest. Someone can attend the
luncheons as a guest only once. If you
make a reservation for a guest, you are
responsible for the cost of the meal if they
do not attend. When making your reserva-
tions via the google form, you must hit
the submit button and then you will receive
a confirmation response. The response is a
small screen that pops up instantly stating
we have your reservation. It is not a sepa-
rate email.
