    October 2015 Newsletter

    September 30, 2015

    Dear Barksdale OSC members,

    The boxes have been unpacked (mostly) for all those who PCSed, the kids are back in school, the

    summer heat has let up and now the time is right for our Barksdale Officers Spouses Club to

    begin another year. I am thrilled to serve as your President and looking forward to a great year.

    The year will hold many good times, fellowship, laughs, fundraising, volunteering, new

    friendships, and the coming together of spouses for the betterment of each other and our

    community. I am so excited about what this year has in store for us all. I look forward to

    meeting each of you and the memories that we will make together throughout the year. Our

    first social is right around the corner and promises to be an evening full of fun. I cant wait to

    see you all there!

    Sincerely,

    Carri Walters

    Treasurer Update:

    Fee Facts: Everything You Need To Know For BOSC

    Welcome back to a new social year for BOSC! I am Carol Beene, the returning Treasurer. I found

    that it took me a few months to get the hang of things the first year, so I just decided to keep

    going this year!

    There are several ways that you can pay for membership dues or social fees.

    The third way to pay is a NEW offering that we will try this year. Prior to the social you can

    follow the link to PayPal off our website or email and pay in advance, skipping the check in

    line! If you cancel your reservation prior to the cutoff date for that social, your fee will be

    refunded in full. Cancellations after the cutoff date cannot be refunded.

    Additionally, please know that our Bylaws state that if you make a reservation and do not cancel

    prior to the cutoff date, you are required to pay for the event even if you are unable to attend.

    The reason for this policy is that we must still pay the social bill based on our reservation

    numbers. The only exception that is made is if you find a replacement to take your reservation

    spot and that person did not already have a current reservation. If you miss a social, we will send

    you an invoice through PayPal and you can either mail a check or pay through the PayPal link.

    Thank you for your understanding on this situation.

    October Social

    Reservations Policy

    To make a reservation for a BOSC social, please contact the Reservations Chairs, Jennifer Attaway

    and Jenny Lamont, at [email protected]. Permanent reservations are available upon

    request. A reservation or cancellation must be made by Noon the Friday prior to a social. If you

    do not cancel your permanent reservation prior to that time, you are considered a no show and

    you will be billed for the event. Email reminders will be sent out prior to event socials so that you

    have time to make reservations or a cancellation prior to an event..

    Wine and drinks will be available for purchase as well at the Hangar II Bar
