Officers’ Spouses’ Club E-Newsletter — WINTER EDITION

Filed under: Uncategorized — fdosc

Thank-you to all of our members that have made this year so special so far!   We have received so much interest in our first annual Tree & Wreath Auction as well as numerous volunteers for our events.  So even though Thanksgiving has past, we want to say THANK-YOU! 

  

 A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT–Thank you all for coming out for coming out and shopping at the annual 2011 OSC Craft Fair!

Well, that time has finally arrived and no, I am not talking about the snow….I am talking about the Holidays!! For me, there is nothing better than seeing those Christmas lights on the houses, the wreaths on the door and those beautifully decorated tree’s displayed in the window. Speaking of decorated trees and wreaths the OSC/ESC Tree and Wreath Auction is right about the corner. Come join us on December 14 and bid to win some great gifts for family (or a few treats for yourself!!)

 Happy Holidays.

Until 2012….Paige Richey
