Fort Drum Enlisted Spouses Club presents
2012 Fort Drum Women’s Conference
Fri: 9:00 am - 4:00 pm Sat: 9:00 am - 2:00 pm Description The Fort Drum Women's Conference 2012 is being hosted by the Enlisted Spouses Club. The conference will take place March 16th and 17th at the Commons on Fort Drum. We are having over 25 workshops that range in topics from Flower Arrangements 101 to Hidden Casualties of War and Extreme Coupon-ing. Our hope is that the Women’s Conference will “educate, activate and empower” an array of women in the... Fort Drum and surrounding community. The Fort Drum Enlisted Spouses Club is a means for military spouses to meet and participate in commu-nity resource projects in a social, cultural, and educational atmosphere. Our organization is founded on the ideal of supporting the community and each other. We are proud to give 80% of all money raised at our fundraisers back to the Fort Drum community as well as the local Jefferson County community in efforts to improve the lives of our military families.
