Supporting Our
Community
Many think of a Base
Spouse’s club as a social organization that holds
monthly lunches, and meets up for Bunko and Bowling…
While that image is not false, it isn’t the entire
picture. Raising funds to be distributed throughout
the local and national military community is the
underlying purpose of our non-profit club.
Funds are raised primarily
through our Base Thrift Shop and supplemented
through events such as Trivia Night, Craft Bazaar
and Auction for Education.
Funds are distributed two
ways:
WELFARE REQUESTS
In the past funds have been
granted to the following organizations: The USO, LRAFB First Sergeant’s Fund, Fischer House, The Base
Library, The Base Youth Center, The AF Ball, Scout
Troops, Care Caps, area schools, and many more. The
common thread is that all organizations in some way
serve the local or greater military community. To
make a welfare request, please put your appeal in
writing (e-mail or letter.)
Be sure that you cover

meeting.
