A WORD FROM OUR PRESIDENT: We are already having a great beginning to the 2010-2011 OSC year. We had a successful Membership Drive and Southern Picnic, (check out photos from that event posted now on our PHOTO tab) and now we are looking forward to our first luncheon scheduled for Wednesday, September 15th. At this luncheon, the membership will be voting on our 2010-2011 budget. CLICK HERE FOR BUDGET INFORMATION.
A representative from the Black River Valley Club will be attending the September luncheon to enroll members into their club, just another perk of being a member, a complimentary Black River Valley Club membership!
And while November seems far away, our Craft Fair preparations are well underway! Mark your calendar for Saturday, November 13th, 10am-4pm at Monti Physical Fitness Center. We are always looking for volunteers for that and check back regularly to learn about those opportunities. Also, if you or someone you know is interested in being a vendor at the event please print out and return the vendor form that you can find on our FORMS tab.
Finally, there are still Board positions open, please check out the positions still available on our VOLUNTEER tab. Feel free to contact me if you would like more information.
By the way! Check out the fabulous QUILT that the Going to Pieces Quilt Guild has donated to the OSC! We are selling tickets for a chance to win this amazing annual donation!

In case you missed last month’s issue, here are some exciting things going on with the OSC.
GOING GREEN — we are continuing to go PAPERLESS! This year marks the first year we will no longer be printing the Drumbeat. All of the important information that you received through our monthly mailing, you can receive from this website! Each month, members will receive an email with the latest news from the club, and a link to our site. On this site you can see photos from our past luncheons and events, find out our latest volunteer opportunities, email members of the board with your questions, and print out important forms! Look for your e-newsletter the First of each month!
MEDIA-SAVVY — this summer we launched our official Facebook Page! If you are on Facebook, join our group! It will have calendar listings and open forums to discuss things from types of event themes that interest you to your favorite meals!
TWEET-TWEET — The OSC will be Tweeting on Twitter! Follow us and find links to other great organizations on Fort Drum to Follow! Get up-to-the-minute Tweets from us, especially helpful during those BIG BLIZZARDS! We’ll alert you to luncheon cancellations and exciting media!
NEW CLUBHOUSE! — We are now located at 10286 4th Armored Division Drive on Main Post. We hold our monthly meetings here and maintain our inventory of rental items here.
SUPER-SIGN UP — We will be at this year’s Post-Wide Super-Sign-up! Stop by to say hi and bring a friend to sign-up for membership! Also take the opportunity to see all the other great clubs and opportunities in and around Fort Drum. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION.
