A Note From Our President

Hello lovely members!

As we head into the home stretch of 2013, we are entering into our busiest time of the year. The holidays are a time of giving and thankfulness and a time to reflect on that which is bigger than ourselves. As a member of the CSC, we are also thrown into the holiday spirit. On November 22, we will host the biggest and best event at Cannon AFB - our 2nd Annual Charity Auction. Yes, it is a wild and crazy social event. But more importantly, let us not forget what it’s all about. This is an event designed to raise money for our scholarships, for our charities that benefit our airmen, and for our community. The Auction is an opportunity for everyone to participate as a contributing member of our community and simply give back. For more information on how to contribute to this momentous event, email cannonspousesclub@gmail.com.

Best wishes,

Priscilla Swantner, CSC President

Socials Update

Arrrrrrrg!  Thank you to all who participated in the October social, the Pirate and Mermaid Scavenger Hunt!  It was fun sharing dinner and then scouring the Landing Zone for so many bizarre things.  Some of the favorites on the list to find were a gong, a body bag, and a state flag that is not rectangular!  Our winning team won by only a few points – the competition was fierce!  We had many new faces attend, including a new member of the Cannon Spouses Club who had only been in Clovis for two days!  Also, huge thank you goes out to the Air Force Sergeants Association who volunteered to provide childcare for this event.  The kids and the parents alike were able to have a wonderful evening full of food, fun, and friendship!
