Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to our new board year!
If you are new to Luke, we’re glad you are here. If you are returning for the new year, please reach out to any new spouses in your squad-rons and invite them to join us! We’ve got a great year planned and I look forward to sharing it with each of you!
Our theme for this year’s socials is reality television. The first so-cial is just around the corner, on Tuesday, August 19th at Club 56 at 11:00 am. The theme for the August social is Survivor, as in you survived PCS season and a summer of kids at home and now it’s time to party with your friends in the LOSC! Please join us for some fun and games and an expo featuring members of our military community who will be on hand to provide information on their many servives and answer questions about your benefits. We will also be sharing the LOSC’s mission and goals for helping our military and local commu-nities this year. Come enjoy some barbeque and learn what the LOSC is all about.

Ronald McDonald HouseEach year, the LOSC prepares dinner for the Ronald McDonald House. The RMH is a “home away from home” for families who must travel to recieve treatment at Phoenix Children’s Hopsital. The RMH provides an atmosphere of comfort, hope, and support for treatment lasting a day, a month, or longer, with low-cost housing next door to the hospital. We are working to identify dates that the LOSC can provide meals for these families. If you would like to be involved please contact Susie Dunn.
