Who is eligible to join the EOSO?
The Elmendorf OSO is open to all spouses of active
duty and retired military officers of all branches of the service in the
Anchorage and Eagle River areas.
Why should I join the EOSO? I don't
like tea and crumpets.
We're not your mother's OSO! Gone are the days of
sitting around the tea table in pillbox hats with pinkies up. The new
generation of OSO members are active and diverse in their abilities and
interests. Our organization boasts professionals and stay-at-home moms,
who range in experience from newlyweds to retirees. Just some of the
activities enjoyed by our members include hunting, skiing, fishing,
quilting, crafting, interior design, cooking, and motorcycling. No matter
what your vocation or hobby, you are sure to find new friends and support
in the EOSO!
What kinds of activities and
functions does the EOSO host?
We meet monthly from August to May for special
luncheon or dinner programs that are often informative and always
entertaining. Past programs have included specials guests such as
Iditarod racer DeeDee Jonrowe, a murder mystery, a spa night, and a joint
function with the Fort Richardson Wives' Club. Annual favorites include
Crystal Bingo and the Christmas Wreath auction to benefit the BX Angel
Tree. For this years' exciting programs, see our
Programs page on this web site!
In addition to our monthly programs, the EOSO hosts
various special-interest groups. In the past these have included
quilting, recipe, and book clubs; mah jongg & bunco groups; and skiing,
golf, and bowling leagues. To see a list of current groups, see our
Special Activities page on this web site.
And if you don't see a group that meets your particular needs, feel free
to suggest one!
Are there dues?
Yes, the yearly dues are $48.00 and cover the
operating costs of the OSO. New members are welcome to join at any time
during the event year. Charges for monthly programs range from $9.00 to
$18.00 and cover the cost of meals.
How do I join?
Download and complete our
membership card.
Bring the card and your dues check to the next function, or mail it to the
address given on the card.
Can I "try before I buy"?
Yes, the August Membership function is free to all
eligible prospective members and is a great way to get a feel for the EOSO
before joining.
Membership is required for participation in all other
EOSO activities. However, eligible prospective members may attend
one event per year as a guest. If you'd like to be a guest but don't
know an EOSO member, contact our
Membership Chairman to
make arrangements.
No one understands the travails
and the joys of the military family like another military spouse. Whether
you are a new military wife, settling in to a new assignment, or coping
with a deployment, you are sure to find the support you need at the EOSO.
Join us and make lifelong friends and memories. We look forward to
meeting you soon!

A Message from
our President:
Welcome
to Elmendorf Air Force Base and Anchorage, Alaska.! What a unique
opportunity you will have to explore and experience the many wonders of
this great state. While you are in Alaska, the Elmendorf OSO is that
familiar connection —-a great group of spouses who have much to share.
Our goals are to improve our base through education and charitable
contributions, and to promote morale, goodwill, and fellowship among our
members. Please join us. We would love to get to know you.
