Elections took place at the April 7th evening function, and I am pleased to announce that the slate advertised in the April issue of TWW has been approved. BL-ingo was once again a sparkling event. Special thanks to our talented bingo caller, Col. Jay Strickler, who entertained us as he helped us win fabulous prizes, and to Paula Cardenas, Programs Chair, for doing a great job shopping once again. A good time was had by all. I am looking forward to our May luncheon as well, where the theme will be a “Hawaiian Beach Party”. It’s time to break out the sandals, grass skirts, and bright colors as we end our luncheon year with a P-A-R-T-Y! We will also have our induction of officers, so please come out and greet our new Executive Committee members. Remember, there are still some standing committee positions available. The benefits of volunteering? Having a vote on the Board of Governors, gaining firsthand knowledge of Club “doings,” and making new friends, just to name a few. Perhaps you would like to lead, or start, an activities group. Please consider lending your talents – our Club provides many opportunities to stretch, grow and get involved, many of which can later be put on a resume if you decide to hit the job market! As I close my final term as President, I would be remiss if I didn’t thank some very special people. First, our dedicated advisors – Mrs. Jacki Hoffman, Mrs. Marsha Hudson, Col. Don Gabreski (Ret.) and Mrs. Lisa Spacy, as well as former Advisor Mrs. Pam Strickler and former Honorary President, Mrs. Vicki Carlson – plus the entire Board of Governors, past and present, for making this a rewarding experience. Our Club has gone through some changes these past two years, and we have come through with flying colors. The proof is in the fun – our activities groups, both “old” and “new”, really took off this year, with a record number of members participating. Thanks to all of our Activities Group leaders for your time, effort, and creativity on behalf of this Club. The proof is also in the “funds.” One of the great privileges of being President is getting the chance to have a seat on the Welfare Committee, which now has more voting members than ever before. What a pleasure to have a small part in giving out much needed dollars to a variety of base and community organizations, as well as college scholarships to deserving students. We are so fortunate in our OSC to have bountiful welfare dollars constantly flowing in from our thriving Thrift Shop, as well as our Mah Jongg Book Sales. When you get a chance, please extend your thanks to Phyllis Artz, Thrift Shop Manager, Phyllis Lafky, Thrift Shop Chair, and Amy Jo Jones, Mah Jongg Book Sales Chair, for the many hours they spend keeping all of this going for our Club. And of course, none of what we do could be accomplished without the countless volunteer hours that our everyday OSC members put in; your tireless dedication has made me proud! In closing, I send my best wishes to incoming President, Tony Goodwin, as he takes our Club towards a bright future.
With a thankful heart, OSC President, WPAFB, 2008-09 |
