The 2017-2018 WPOSC Board of Governors
THE WRIGHT WORD PAGE 3 NOVEMBER 2017
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.”

THE WRIGHT WORD PAGE 5 NOVEMBER 2017
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.
Genia Gaisford

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!
