We went over our funds raised at the Craft Bazaar in November as well as the Gift Wrapping Booth in December. New member Jessica Jones was drawn for our volunteer Family Game Night gift basket, and Cheryl Chamberlain passed the Peer-to-Peer gift along to Christi Matthews for all her time and support in the ESC over the last years.
Through our fundraising efforts, you might have heard that we now co-sponsor HeartLink through the Airman and Family Readiness Center. Through our donation, no spouse will ever need to be turned away do to funding and cap limitations on the program. We are excited to be a part of this amazing program. The next HeartLink is Wednesday, February 20th from 8:30am-2pm. In an ongoing effort to support our base spouses, we HIGHLY encourage you to attend HeartLink if you have not already. This is a great resource for all new and new to base Air Force Spouses as they go over everything offered to you FREE on base, as well as getting the opportunity to meet some of the other amazing spouses and leaders on our base. To sign up, call the A&FRC at 208-828-2458.
If you had not heard, this December the Enlisted and Officer Spouses' Clubs teamed up and surprised airmen, families and veterans at the Commissary by randomly passing out Commissary gift cards. It was truly an amazing experience for the board members to be able to see the tears of joy and smiling, surprised faces of those that were chosen. Just another way our clubs give back to our Air Force and military families. It's because of YOU and YOUR volunteer efforts that we are able to give so much to so many.
WHAT IS CRUD? The Ladies Crud League is starting soon, so if you would like to join in, it's $10 for the season, due January 25th. There will be open practice on Friday, January 18th and 25th at 6pm in the Doom Room of the Gunfighter Club so you can come out and see this fast paced, fun billiard game! Grab your friends and form a team... spouse, enlisted, commissioned, civilian... it doesn't matter. There's only two requirements... 1. Female and 2. Able to get onto base!
The Nominating Committee put up the following members for the new executive board positions:
President - Sunshine Burgess
Vice President - Taylor Martin
Treasurer - Stephanie Gray
Secretary - Cheryl Chamberlain
Since there was only one person slated for each position with no opposition, it was moved and seconded to vote on the slated positions, and was passed with majority vote. These new officers were sworn in and will start the process this month of planning fundraisers, socials and events.
The following positions will be appointed at the end of this month. If you are interested in any of the positions, please reply to this email: A very brief description is given for each.
Parliamentarian - Keeps the board and general membership meetings, events and fundraisers aligned with the club's constitution and bylaws.
Social Committee Chairperson - Helps plan, organize and delegates the volunteers at our social and family events.
Historian - Our ESC photographer! Captures our events and distributes photos to Facebook and members.
The Membership Chairperson's paperwork and dues duties have been split between the Secretary and Treasurer. As members we ALL have a duty and a responsibility to invite, recruit and bring other spouses into our ESC family and make them feel apart of something amazing. Those that have been members a while can attest to the great things we've done and the friendships that have formed. We truly care about and support each other, and getting the word out about our organization is everyone's "job"!
See you at crud or at February's meeting!! Take care!
Cheryl Chamberlain
MHESC Secretary
