On behalf of the entire Andersen Officers’ Spouses’ Club (AOSC) I would like to extend a hearty welcome to you and your family. Here, at Andersen AFB, the OSC is a diverse group of spouses affiliated with the Air Force, Navy, Federal Bureau of Investigations, Federal Aviation Administration, State Department and the Department of Defense Education Activity. The AOSC is a great way to meet a lot of folks, have fun and help raise thousands of dollars for charity. I hope you will consider joining this great group of individuals to help us make a difference in our community.

The AOSC is a non-profit organization that donates over $20,000.00 in scholarships annually through the profits of our Gift Shop. The Gift Shop also allows us to donate thousands of dollars to base, local and national organizations. We have merchandise imported from countries such as Bali, Thailand, Vietnam and Hong Kong at fantastic prices for our consumers. The Gift Shop is staffed entirely with AOSC members and we happily accept any assistance you may be able to provide. AOSC members also have the opportunity to pre-shop new arrivals before the general public!

The AOSC also hosts a monthly social, normally held the third Thursday of the month at 6pm. Some of the socials already planned for this year include Bunco, Bingo, Shop ‘til You Drop and our Holiday Social. You also will not want to miss the great door prizes and gifts to be given away at every social!

We also have a host of Special Activity Groups that meet monthly, with the groups choosing the time and place to meet. These Special Activity Groups include Bunco, Scrapbooking/Crafting, Book Club, Play Group and Lunch Bunch, to name a few. This is a great way to get to know other spouses who enjoy similar interests. If you have any talents or hobbies you are willing to share, we’d love to hear about them!

Most of us are a very long way from home. Allow the OSC be an extension of your family and know we are all here together, serving our country, and helping to make Andersen AFB, and our surrounding community, better through our support.

Once again welcome and I look forward to meeting you soon!
