The 2017-2018 WPOSC Board of Governors


Dear WPOSC members,

Happy November! The temperature is finally go-

ing down and it is time to get crafty! Our November

General Membership meeting will be on Thursday,

November 9 this event will include various craft

demonstrations and a delicious lunch-we hope to see

you all there!

Our activities are all up and running- it is never too

late to join any of these fun groups, just contact one

of the group leaders or our Activities Chair, Jenni

Leggiero. We are excited to announce a new activity

group this year- Golf! If you are interested in joining

the fun, please contact Emily Knowles. You can find

more information about all of our activities in TWW

or on our website: www.wrightpattersonosc.org.

The holiday season is just around the corner. The

ISG is leading the charge this year to decorate the

Wright-Patt Club for the holidays. Decorating will

be taking place on November 27 in preparation for

the tree lighting on December 6. If you are interested

in helping, please see the ad on page 5.

We’ve had some exciting developments on the

board over the past month. We are thrilled to wel-

come two new members to the Board of Governors:

Jennifer Arnold as our Scholarship Co-Chair and

Gabriela Greiner as our Childcare Coordinator. The

Board of Governors still has some open positions and

we welcome WPOSC members to join us in our gov-

ernance. A list of open positions can be found on

page 2. The Governing Documents Committee has

been working diligently updating the Policies and

Procedures. The P&P have been reorganized into a

document that is easier to read and reference. We

thank the members of this committee for their dedi-

cation and perseverance.

Our fall membership drive has ended. We would

like to welcome our new WPOSC members and

thank those that have renewed their membership this

year. The WPOSC membership directory will be

arriving soon.

As Thanksgiving approaches, I hope that each of

you find the happiness of good friends, the joy of

family and the fortune of good health.

Best wishes,

Jen Bray

With recent natural disasters

playing out before our eyes, a friend

and I were discussing how helpless

we felt in being able to assist with

such an immeasurable need. Sure,

we could donate water or other sup-

plies, but it felt like putting a cartoon

character Band-Aid on a life threat-

ening wound. As the day pro-

gressed, I could not get the subject

off my mind. Later in the evening,

my daughter called overwhelmed by

studying for an important college

exam. Her dad resorted to his stan-

dard advice, “confront the issue one

bite at a time.“ It dawned on me that

all problems should be confronted,

“a bite at a time.”

Volunteerism is a way to impact

your community by helping, “a bite

at a time.” What may seem like only

a case of water for hurricane victims,

a bag of clothing donated to our

WPOSC Thrift Shop, or reading a

book to a local elementary class-

room, has ripple effects on your

community. One small “bite” to you

may mean something different to the

person on the receiving end of your time.

In a recent study by The Independent

Sector, the estimated value of a volunteer

hour for 2016 was $24.14. I read this

shortly after our board submitted volun-

teer hours for the WPOSC and the

WPOSC Thrift shop. The value of those

“bites” of time volunteered by our gener-

ous supporters would total a whopping

$121,590.52 if our volunteers were being

paid. Those small “bites” of time in a

three month period added up to an unbe-

lievably large contribution of house to

our local community. That is not just a

ripple effect, it is waves of kindness and

impact we have had on our surrounding

community. This translates into scholar-

ships, grants for national and local chari-

ties, aid to local airmen and their fami-

lies, and the list goes on. In fact, you will

be able to see how your volunteer hours

effect our local community at the De-

cember 14 WPOSC event, as we make a

donation to a local charity benefitting

children.

We have many opportunities coming up

in the next three months where a volun-

teered hour here or there could make an

impact. These opportunities include

decorating the Wright Patt Club for the

holidays, baking cookies for the Wright

Patterson AFB Cookie Drive, or volun-

teering at the WPOSC Thrift Shop. We

can all contribute to helping our commu-

nity and we can accomplish this, “a bite

at a time.”

Fellow Spouses,

We have had several questions this year about

the liability statement which must be acknowl-edged on our WPOSC membership application.

This statement reads as follows:

Members of this organization can become financially liable for the obligations and debts of the WPOSC if its

assets fail to meet such obligations and debts.

Because we are an authorized “Private Organization” (PO) operating on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base,

we must adhere to the policies laid out in Air Force Instruction (AFI) 34-223. This is the document which

governs the operation of PO’s operating on every Air Force installation in the world. Alongside many other

stipulations, we must comply with guidance which explicitly states, “PO members must be made aware that they are jointly and severally liable for the obligations of the PO, and their understanding of the liability must

be documented.”

If a prospective member refuses to accept this liability, then unfortunately we are unable to accept their

application to join the WPOSC.

While we must follow the guidance provided in the AFI, the WPOSC has several ways of safeguarding the

financial health of our organization so that we do not put our members at risk. First, our Board of Gover-

nors carefully manages our finances. Officers, elected by our membership, review our statements and budg-

ets continuously and have the fiduciary responsibility to take action to limit expenses should any budgetary shortfall be projected. We also open up our books to financial review each year by a certified public ac-

countant. Importantly, we also are not in the habit of incurring obligations. We carry no debt and we are

not party to any contracts, leases, or other binding financial agreements that would need to be honored,

should our club someday face financial straits. Finally, our club carries Property & Liability insurance, un-

derwritten by the Cincinnati Insurance Company, which is there to protect us should we incur an unex-

pected loss of property or should someone be injured at a WPOSC activity or event.

In summary, we cannot waive the mandated requirement that our members acknowledge that they are liable for the obligations of the WPOSC. I hope, however, that we can provide you with the confidence that

the financial risk you incur when you join the WPOSC is exceedingly low. Please contact me with any con-

tinued questions or concerns about this issue.

The Holidays are coming. It is the time to deco-rate, celebrate and to partake. You can set a table with a dramatic look or update your holiday decor without straining your wallet by first shopping at the Thrift Shop. We usually have an extensive inventory of holiday items artfully displayed. You can find centerpieces, door wreaths, serving dishes and table-cloths. Why pay top dollar at a retail store when you can get one just as nice at a better price?

November is also a time to be thankful – thankful for the service of our veterans who have kept us safe and to be thankful for our many blessings. During this season, remember to pass on your thanks to a veteran and share some of your abundances with someone less fortunate.

The Thrift Shop is thankful for our consignors, customers and volunteers who have made us a suc-cess. Because of you, we have an abundance of items on our floor and our sales are high. We have volunteers that make the shop a fun place to work. We have a staff (Paula, Beth, and Lori) that keep the place running smoothly. Thanks to all.

Don’t forget that the Thrift Shop has a limited sup-

ply of the 2017 White House ornaments for $22.00

It honors the administration of Franklin D. Roose-

velt, who served as the thirty-second president of the

United States from 1933-1945 and his remarkable

journey to restore the faith of the American people.

Who are we?

We are a very unique volunteer group to be found

nowhere else in the Air Force. Hours are flexible and

vary according to your schedule. On average, we work

2 ½ hours in the morning during the school year. Dur-

ing this time, you are walking and talking and even ex-

ercising without realizing it.

Training is painless and fun! You can train with a

group or on an individual basis. Either way, you soon

become a part of a great group of guides. You do not

need to know the entire museum, only the areas you

feel comfortable in.

The best part? The friendships we form while doing

something we love. We meet on the fourth Thursday

morning of every month during the school year for edu-

cation and training. Come join us!

The Yanks are Coming!: A Military

History of the United States in World

War 1 by H.W. Crocker III.

Readers will learn: -How George S.

Patton, Douglas MacArthur, George C.

Marshal (of the Marshall Plan), “Wild

Bill” Donovan (future founder of the

OSS, the World War II precursor to the

CIA), Harry S. Truman, and many other

American heroes earned their military

spurs in “The Great War”.

-Why, despite the efforts of the almost

absurdly paci-

fistic admini-

stration of

Woodrow Wil-

son, American

involvement in

the war was

inevitable.

-How the First

World War was

“the War that

Made the Mod-

ern World:--

weeping away

most of the crowned heads of Europe,

redrawing the map of the Middle East,

setting the stage for the rise of commu-

nism and fascism.

We hope to see you on November 16!

One Cold and Blessed Winter

‘Neath gloomy skies, and grey,

Seven little Skylarks

Went out to sing one day

Do You Hear What I Hear?

A Carol of the Drum!

A Cheerful Sound arises

To thaw the cold and numb

The sing The Infant Jesus

A joyful cry of Peace,

Peace is the joyful answer

Bright sprits to release

So come out for a Sleigh Ride,

And join us, proud and true.

‘Cause Here We Come A-Wassailing

We’d love to sing with you!
