While our members truly enjoy the time we spend socializing every month, we recognize that the true purpose of our organization is to serve our military and local communities.
Every year, the Dover OSC organizes and sponsors the largest single-day craft show on America's east coast! This, our biggest fundraiser, allows us to generously contribute to many worthy causes.
In total, in fiscal year 2008-2009, the craft show enabled the Dovers' Officers' Spouses' Club to donate $11,630 in charitable contributions.
- We granted $4,460 in welfare requests to base organizations, including Airman & Family Readiness, 436th Force Support Squadron
- $7,170 was awarded to national, state and local charities. Some of these organizations include the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition, Delaware Hospice, National Military Family Association as well as other groups.
