The OSC has stayed busy with social events, charitable work, and generous donations from our Lejeune family at Basket Bingo. I am so proud to represent such a wonderful organization. This month the OSC put on our biggest fundraiser of the year, Basket Bingo. The night was loaded with excitement. This year we raised $16,000; that will all go to our Philanthropy Fund to benefit our Charitable Distributions and Scholarships. Our fundraising team put on a fabulous Basket Bingo and we are so very thankful for the generous donations from the units and community. Also, the OSC reached out to the Onslow Women Shelter. The community outreach team and a group of very dedicated volunteered completely renovated one of the shelter rooms. It is amazing how beautiful the room turned out and the good it will provide for the shelter. We have many positions for our board next year available. Please consider volunteering for the 2015-2016 board. Our Election is this month and we already have some wonderful ladies on the ballot. Don’t forget to vote! Sincerely, Sherry Cato OSC President Joint Luncheon RSVP by April 6th We are excited to attend the Lemons, Linen & Lace Joint Luncheon being hosted by our sister club New River and hope you are too!!!
