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
