From the President...
P A G E 3 V O L U M E 3 , I S S U E 6
Hello winter! Won’t you please go away now?!? I don’t know about all of you but I am ready for spring! It seems that January and February are the dreariest months of the year and I am
ready to get past them! We do however have some exciting things to do in February. Our next
luncheon is one of my favorites! Bring your spouse (just yourself is fine too) and come taste some good wine and eat some yummy stinky cheese! We will be playing the newlywed game
at this event as well which should make for a very funny evening. Every February, our Club
hosts a “Sweetheart Bingo” for all of the surrounding area’s Senior Citizens. It is such a blast
with this group of very special people. We would love to see as many of you there as possible. It is a lot of work but so worth it! Be sure to let us know if you are interested in helping out
that day! I wanted to thank all of you who helped out the FRCSC over the holidays!
Your hard work and dedication to this wonderful Club is greatly appreciated! The Fort Rucker Community Spouses Club would not be as great as it is without the help
of its members! Spread the word about us! Look through this Flightlines to find many other ways to be involved in the
FRCSC. You will find it to be very rewarding! Be sure to let us know if you are interested in a Board Position for next year and check out the Scholarship page if you are interested in being on the Judging Panel!
Sincerely FRCSC President 2010-2011
FRCSC President Crissy Baker
Crissy Baker
WE ARE LOOKING TO FILL THE FRCSC BOARD FOR NEXT YEAR. Below are highlights
of the executive Board positions available (our Treasurer Deb Kennedy has agreed to stay on!) PRESIDENT– Oversees the entire Board and club activities. According to our current President, Crissy Baker, being President can be a big job, but the amount of support you get from the rest of the board and the community is amazing! She says that two good traits for the President are being a good listener and problem solver. She also says that Or-ganization is the key to success!! Crissy has enjoyed volunteering and making lifetime friends. 1st VICE PRESIDENT - In charge of fundraising events. Kim Vega serves as 1st VP this year. Head of fundraising sounds like a daunting task, but each fundraiser has an individual chairman. So the 1st VP helps these chairmen to ensure the success of the events. 2nd VICE PRESIDENT - In charge of planning our luncheons. Candice Coatney serves as 2nd VP this year. She says two good traits to have for this position are good people skills and an outgoing personality. You speak at each luncheon, so not being afraid of public speaking helps!! She says that this year her creativity has soared with planning the luncheons. She has met some great ladies ad has learned about money, event planning, foods, wines, fun games and more. Candice is so thankful to have had this opportunity to help the club give back to the community. SECRETARY - Records and submit minutes for Board meetings. Jenny Braden serves as Secretary this year. A good listener and note-taker is essential to this position. All board members submit written monthly reports to the Secretary which helps in taking minutes at the meetings.
The one common thread of all of the board positions is making lifetime friends. The FRCSC board accomplishes a lot each year and gives so much back to the Fort Rucker Community, but we manage to do this while having a lot of fun! If you think that you might be interested in joining the fun and volunteering please contact Diana Stockhausen, 475-4360 or email [email protected] .

Community Outreach

SOS Animal Shelter and Ozark-Dale
County Animal Shelter.
Both are “no kill” facilities. They are
in need of towels, blankets, dog food,
cat food, cat litter, toys, and bleach.
Please be sure to bring your dona-
tions to our February luncheon. Thank you for your support!

Westerwald Pottery is back!!
We have Fort Rucker and Fly Army back in stock.
Westerwald Pottery was the first to offer personalized
stoneware, the first to use authentic cobalt brush decoration,
and the first to sign, stamp, and date each piece in the line.
While not the largest producer of hand-made pottery in the
U.S.A., Westerwald Pottery has consistently maintained the
highest standards of excellence. Westerwald pottery is wheel-
thrown, brush decorated, and imprinted. Because every piece
is handmade, no two products are exactly alike. The glazes
are lead-free, microwave, and dishwasher safe. This is truly a
collectible item. They are available at many military installa-
tions around the world, but Fly Army and Fort Rucker are
only available here.
Prices from $17.50. For orders or more information, please
call Cindy 709-4621 or Irene 403-7044.
Look for us at the monthly luncheons, too!
