Our Mission
Camp Lejeune Officers’ Spouses’ Club is a private, non-profit
fellowship and volunteer organization for officer
spouses at MCB Lejeune and surrounding areas. It was
created to foster a comfortable atmosphere of
camaraderie, support and community involvement
among spouses of active and retired personnel. We
carry out our mission statement in three ways
Socially: supporting members through networking
and friendship at events like luncheons and sub clubs.
Charitably: using the time, talents and energy of
members to enhance the greater Camp Lejeune area.
Socially: supporting members through networking and
friendship at events like luncheons and sub clubs.
Generously: raising funds to go into the Charitable
Distributions Fund, which supports local organizations
with monetary donations and the larger OSC
Scholarship Fund, which awards students and spouses
with college scholarships based on both merit and
academic excellence.

President’s Pen
What an amazing month we have had to start off this year! It started
with Welcome Aboard and new for this year, Mini Welcome Aboard.
There were a lot of new faces to meet and it was wonderful to see all the
familiar faces after the summer break. We had many of our supportive
vendors and opportunities to start “Hitting the High Notes”. The MiniWelcome Aboard was a “shrunk down” version for those unable to
attend the big daytime event. Merging it with our Happy Hour allowed
many spouses to sign up and have a nice evening getting to know each
other.
Every year the Welcome Aboard keeps our 1st Vice President busy all
summer. Seeing Katie Magee’s vision come to life with the help of many
of our Board Members is what OSC is all about. Ivana Almand, our Advertising Chair, also worked all summer
for this event. She did a wonderful job contacting all of the business owners, local and national charities, and
community support groups. Attending Welcome Aboard gave them the opportunity to meet our members and
support our event. Thank you Katie and Ivana for your dedication. If you were unable to attend, there is still
time to join. E-mail our membership and we will get you in contact with your unit representatives and any
committees and sub-clubs you are interested in joining. Thank you to all who volunteer and attended!
September was a busy month for the OSC. Our first luncheon of the year was so much fun! The 2nd Division
hosted “Beach Blanket Bunko” and we enjoyed some of our favorite parts of summer before the cooler North
Carolina weather moves in. Playing Bunko was a wonderful way to bring together the new faces with returning
members to get to know each other. Thank you to all the Division ladies for putting on a great event. Along with
our luncheon, many of our sub groups have started out strong. Play group is playing, Gourmet Club is cooking,
Book Club is reading, and many others have kicked off a great year.
We have a few new opportunities to offer our members this year and one exciting addition is our Volunteer Hour
Credit System. For the first time in our OSC history, we will be documenting volunteer hours. This
documentation will allow members to apply for volunteer awards and build their resumes. These hours can be
obtained by volunteering on our committees and events as well as by attending our events. Members who have
acquired high hours will be recognized at our Membership Appreciation Luncheon in May. More details of this
program will soon be available. I hope everyone will take advantage of this great opportunity.
October is here and with the cooler weather comes more OSC fun! Bring your spouses and/or your friends for a
great night out at Oktoberfest at the O’Club on October 2nd. This event is a social event hosted by the O’Club
open to all authorized O’Club patrons, SNCOs, and their guests. Our annual Hidden Talents Fall Craft Fair will
be a little earlier this year. Prepare to get some holiday shopping done early on October 31 and November 1.
There will also be a bake sale and Tree Silent Auction with all proceeds supporting our Philanthropic Fund.
We appreciate all the support and opportunities for our OSC membership. If you need any more information on
how to get involved, please don’t hesitate to contact me at OSCPresCL@gmail.com. I’m looking forward to all of
our upcoming events and the opportunity to meet and see each one of you!
Sincerely,
Stephanie Williams
2015-2016 OSC President
