Dear Spouses,
My name is Kat Elwell and I'm the new president for the Spouses' Club of
Fort Drum 2012-13. I am so excited for everything the club is going to
accomplish this year and we are always looking for ways to reach out to more
spouses! If you need a speaker for your FRG meeting, please let me know; I
would love to meet your members, chat about the club and share more
information. Thank you!
