Meeting/Photo Scavenger Hunt, BB4BC & More

Good morning Spouses!!

Just a quick reminder that tonight is the October General Meeting and Photo Scavenger Hunttonight 10/2 at 6:30pm at the base chapel.  This was by far one of the funnest socials we had last year, so of course we had to bring it back!  Bring your cameras, as you will be split into groups, some ladies you may know, some you may not know, but what a great way to get to meet new people and forge new friendships!

For those of you with children, be sure to make the most out of all the great things the Youth Center provides.  There is so much to do on this base, and it's great fun!  Keep the 366th FSS Flicker photo stream on your favorites/bookmarks to keep up with all that's going on.  From awesome deals at the Gunfighter Club, fun classes and tournaments, to decorating Halloween bags on October 24th, and even a Boo Bash and Zombie Run on Wing Sports Day, October 26th.  You can always look through www.mhafbfun.com for all the exciting happenings on base.

The OSC's Bunco Benefit for Breast Cancer & 4-5-6 is also coming up on Friday, October 12th.  EVERYONE is invited to come play Bunco for a great cause!  This is NOT an OSC only event, enlisted, retired, active duty, town friends, etc. are all welcome.  Wear your PINK (shirts, hats, socks, wigs, etc!)  Anything PINK goes!  Drawings & Silent Auctions will also be going on (cash or check only).  4-5-6 will be played in the bar while bunco is being played in the ballroom.  Receive extra chips for wearing a PINK shirt.  Seats are limited.  Tickets are for sale $20 at the thrift shop on Thursdays 10-2 pm or contact Jamie at BuncoB4BC@gmail.com.  Proceeds go to scholarships.   PINK "Friday Shirts" can be purchased at the Thrift shop when you pick up a ticket.  Feel free to decorate your shirt any way you please.  Registration forms can also be found on www.mountainhomeosc.org.  We highly encourage you to attend this amazing and rewarding event!!

We are still looking for some amazing photos of our members at the Air Force Ball!!  Email one to us or give me permission to steal one of your photos on FB to add to the album!!  We have heard that we had one of the biggest turnouts for enlisted at the ball so let's see those pictures!!
