What are YOU Doing this Summer? Check it out!!

Spouses,  Hope you are all enjoying your week!  If you haven't seen the event yet, this Tuesday evening, we need YOU!!  The Enlisted Spouses Club, with money granted from the Officer Spouses' Club, are embarking that evening on "Project Deployment Survival"!!  We will be having a quick meeting, then delving into a HUGE handmade craft project that will go out to over 200 spouses from our base whose airmen are deployed.  We will be assembling them and giving them to the squadron Key Spouses to pass out.  Please come help us pull off this amazing project, and even if you will be receiving one, feel free to join us so that we can get as much help as we can.  Spouses helping spouses, encouraging friendship, support and community!  Bring a dish to pass and as always, child care is available.

Please forward this email to your friends and neighbors to let them know not only of this great evening, but as you can see below, some great things are happening this summer.  This is of course NOT a complete list and there is always tons of things going on, but just some highlights.  Be sure to add our FB to your newsfeed so you can see our updates there as well!

In support and friendship,

JUNE EXITEMENT!

Good morning Spouses!!  Are you getting out there and enjoying this amazing weather we've been having lately?  I sure hope so!  With PCS season underway, we are saying goodbye to a lot of women that have touched our lives and touched our hearts.  Two women that we definitely want to give a shout out to are Laurie Smith and LeAnne Weimer.  We wish you all the luck your hearts and hands can hold!  You will be truly missed. <3

We also have a lot of our AD deployed, so that's why it's so important that you show your support to our spouses by joining us for our June meeting/social.  Tuesday, June 4th 6;30pm at the base chapel.  (Child care provided)  We won't have a whole lot of "business" but we do have an awesome social project we will be working on that will be given to Key Spouses to deliver to their deployed spouses.  This is an amazingly unique gift, and we'll need all the bodies we can to get all of them assembled, so be sure to come out!!  Also, you'll get the change to meet our new MHAFB Command Chief's wife, Caroline Claire del Valle.  It's a great chance to give her a warm welcome as she is excited to meet all of you and get involved as much as possible.  Be sure to mark it on your calendar, and join us for this special get together.

Below is the FSS Weekly!  Remember, if you have any questions, concerns or ideas for the ESC, be sure to contact us!  Have a great week!!

GM/Zumba Social, Scholarship Dinner, FSS Weekly

Good morning fellow spouses!  How have we been enjoying the 70 degree weather lately?!  We have some exciting things planned for the enlisted spouses in the next few months, so be sure to keep an eye out for updates.  Please remember, that you do not need to be a member to attend our socials!!  Membership is required to attend/vote at our general meetings and help make decisions in regards to our charitable donations.  Membership helps pay for food, some activity fees as well as our insurance and PO box for the year.  We highly encourage membership, as it can cut the cost or possibly make socials free for members.  We are spouses supporting spouses and their families, so please let other spouses know, get involved, and help us to build up our membership as we try to make a positive impact and encourage all our families.

That being said, next Tuesday, May 7th, is our GM and Zumba social!!  Child care is available and even if you don't want to participate in the Zumba workout with the lovely Shannon Foster, feel free to enjoy an evening of fellowship and getting to know some of the other enlisted spouses on base.  Meeting starts at 6:30pm at the base chapel (Liberty Chapel) and we are normally wrapped up by 8pm.  Come on out and check out the fun!!

Next Tuesday is also the deadline to let our ESC President, Sunshine Burgess, if you will be attending to support our scholarship winners at the dinner May 14th.  You may RSVP here, or let her know at the meeting.

There are lots of fun events happening on base and we look forward to seeing you all at many of them and supporting our base and town.

Have a great weekend!
